The night can be complete before every problem has an answer.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Evenings often get held open by an unspoken rule that you cannot rest until things are resolved. Very few problems get solved after ten at night, and the ones that seem to be solving usually just feel more urgent in the dark. A day is allowed to end unfinished. Closing it is a decision you make, not a state the world arrives at.

Choose an hour tonight after which nothing gets decided. Write the unresolved thing on paper so it is held somewhere other than your head. Then let the evening be the evening.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

What keeps you awake solving something that will still be there tomorrow?
