Rest, Lionhearts. 
We need it.
When the brain is hijacked by triggers and we have to work so hard to find our bearings – to convince ourselves that Now is not Then;
When we must be the Adult, and be brave despite still feeling young and scared;
When we must do the work of healing, when we deserved never to have had to heal in the first place;
We sometimes think it’s not okay to ever pause, to ever rest.
It is a long, courageous journey though. And, even the Lionhearted, need and deserve to restore their strength. 
Is rest hard for you? What have you learned to do that best restores your heart, mind, and body?
Thank you @lionwhisperersa for this beautiful photo!
