A long day leads to a quiet evening.

Writing is sanctuary.

A blank screen. A soft whirring from the computer. 

A foggy block. 

A barrier to safe solitude. 

Fingers next to keys. Hovering. And then the familiar clicking rhythm. 

No clear reason.

The mind quiets and finds rest. 

Clarity. 

I read and write to help calm my mind each evening. When I have writer’s block, I push through it because I know the result is worth it. After a busy day on the unit, in the clinic, or wherever you provide care, how do you quiet your brain and find rest?
