Mary Walker is a poet and writer from New Zealand. She is also the author of The Land Will Hold You and Lullaby for Mothers: motherhood in poems.
Acquaint yourself with quiet,
recognise the need in you for rest,
not to recover from that which is done
but to prepare for what is to come.
The still place is where everything collects.
Rest is the beginning, not the end.
from the poem Rest
