Go to sleep

You don’t have the space for writing or reading. 

It is night.

The night is for stillness.
    Let us be still.

It is night after a long day.
    What has been done has been done;
    what has not been done has not been done;
    let it be.

The night is dark.
    Let our fears of the darkness of the world and of our own lives, rest.

The night is quiet.
    Let the quietness of peace enfold us,
    all dear to us,
    and all who have no peace.

The night heralds the dawn.
    Let us look expectantly to a new day,
    new joys,
    new possibilities.

Amen.
