HUMANS ARE NOT AUTOMOBILES, OR, AGAIN, THE VALUE OF SLEEP AND REST

Just want to say that in that transition I spoke about in my whine, to change from one mode of being to the the next, the value of rest cannot be underestimated. Humans are not like automobiles that can stop with one gesture of the foot on the brake. Inertia is a large part of our bodies and psyches -- we take a long time to stop, and a long time to start up again. This is very crucial to know because so many of us get ground down to meat trying to stop or start up. It took me three days after a busy month to be able to rest enough to rejuvenate. Some of us rest so long that we have difficulty getting our motor going again. How tricky this business of living can be, and more difficult, the less aware we are.
