"Sleep, rest of things, O pleasing deity, peace of the soul, which cares dost crucify,..." - Ovid

“Sleep, rest of things, O pleasing deity, peace of the soul, which cares dost crucify, weary bodies refresh and mollify.”

— Ovid

Ovid knew what we so often forget — rest isn't laziness, it's medicine. If you're carrying a lot right now, please let yourself sleep deeply tonight. Your body and soul are doing repair work in the quiet.
