An afternoon nap, every afternoon, hiding in caves, bears taking a snooze hiding eyes from brightness with gigantic paws, crawling into their caves, dens, children cubs warming up in their mother's fur, not to end up as a fur coat, saved by those who care about the extinction of animals, animals who love humans, humans who love animals.
To learn from the bear families, to be like them, to catch sleep during the day, to then be wide open-eyed to hunt your supper. Lake Trout swapped with fingernails as sharp as knives.
What is the benefit of an afternoon nap? I never knew, but my grandma took them and so does my mother, it separates the morning from the afternoon, takes you from one gracefully into the other. After eating lunch, to healthfully digest your lunch, stomach churning while the muscles in your body are still and restful.
Are you at work, have a full time job? Have a lunch break? Try to take one half hour to take a snooze. Try to fall asleep in a chair. Eyes closed, deeply in meditation and then wake up and go back to work.
An afternoon nap! Sounds like a great idea. Yes, there were caves with cavemen who also took afternoon naps. Learn from nature, do as the animals do. Build a nest and coat it in the inside with feathers for warmth, for softness, buy a goose-down filled blanket and pull it up to your chin, head softly nestled into your pillow, to sleep.
Why do we want to sleep? What is the importance of sleep? The Psalms written by King David tell us "God visits His beloved in their sleep".
