You continue to have moments
in which you feel disconnected,
unproductive and uninspired.
Grace is knowing that
it is okay to lay fallow
in these moments.
Remind yourself that
fallow is a necessary state.
Fallow isn’t “doing nothing,”
but it can seem that way.
It’s easy to spoil your
fallow moments with self care.
Self care is a conscious activity.
Fallow is allowing yourself
to be unconscious,
without need or expectation.
The most productive fields
are allowed to lie fallow.
You don’t need self care.
You don’t need to be productive.
You just need to lie fallow.
So do so.

Like a field resting before another cycle of abundance, sometimes the soul too needs to rest in the unconscious. It’s not laziness or a lack of ambition, but a deeper wisdom recognizing that even the act of doing nothing is an act in itself—a replenishment, a refueling for the journey ahead. Laying fallow, you prepare the ground for the next season of your life, letting it regain its fertility and richness. Trust in this period of seeming inactivity; the next season of abundant flow is just around the corner.
