Friday, May 2, 2014 — time for a little rest
Bet I am not the only one tired; and glad to see Friday. A weekend after even campus parking lots get a rest from the press and hustle of student traffic.
Here’s a long-loved poem I’ve posted before. Good coaching for slower breathing these next couple days.

Today’s Post
I ask for a moment’s indulgence to sit by thy side,
The works that I have in hand
I will finish afterwards.
Away from the sight of thy face
my heart knows no rest nor respite,
and my work becomes an endless toil
in a shoreless sea of toil.
Now is the time to sit quiet,
face to face with thee
and to sing dedication of life
in this silent and overflowing leisure.
Tagore 5
