Being allowed to pause while the world continues
- A long nap during the winter -
I want to snuggle like bears with a thick fur deep in dark caves, where I fall asleep during my hibernation in a cold winter. Disappear peacefully for a long period of time. I want to feel calmth, warmth and a long heavy sleep. When I fall asleep I feel the quiteness of the cave. I imagine the cold ground and the silent wind passing along the trees above my cave, while I try to fall asleep.
The world outside keeps moving, but time has stopped for me, I am asleep, protected from the cold ground above me.
When it is spring I wake up from my heavy nap, I stretch and step outside in the fresh air. The sun is shining on me, the wind passes along my thick fur. The long rest has done its work. I am reborn and immidiately look for food, no stress, just looking for some good food.
🐻🐻🌷
Let the world be cold for a while.
Let the wind move through the trees.
I will be here, warm and safe, sleeping until I'm ready to wake up again.
