"Rest & laughter are the most spiritual and subversive acts of all. 

Rest, laugh, slow down." -Anne Lamott

And when I think that neither is possible, it turns out that both are exactly what I need. 

And when I judge or am judged for taking rest, I remember the subversiveness, the act of stealing away (like Jesus did), and I lean into it. 

And when I am stern and surly and salty, I remember that we were meant to come to Christ as children

(Matthew 19:14)

...and children LAUGH.

And so will I.
