Self-Care #936+ξ [I am a Sleep Athlete 😪💤] A recollection. The word <mountain hut> from that day that warmed my heart.

This article is

participating in the project shown below, "#HappyWritingMarathon#19".

I will participate.

Tonight,

deep within my heart,

like a warm light that still remains,

I would like to reminisce

about an event from several years ago.

It is

a memory of two important words that

suddenly warmed my heart and

quietly illuminated my life thereafter.

Several years ago,

I took a leave of absence from the company I was working for,

I was spending my days groping in the dark,

wondering how I should walk the path of my life from here on.

The option of becoming independent

was also vaguely floating in my mind,

but I couldn't see a concrete path forward,

and only impatience and anxiety dominated my heart.

At that time,

someone I happened to meet,

perhaps seeing my situation,

likened life to mountain climbing,

and spoke to me like this.

"Your life is currently,

so to speak, a period of resting in a mountain hut."

Those words,

It soaked right into my heart.

There are not many people who can climb a steep mountain all the way to the summit in one go.

Hardly anyone can.

Most people

rest at mountain huts many times,

recover their strength,

and regain their spirit,

aiming for the top little by little.

That is why,

you too should just take a good rest now in this mountain hut of life.

You should just take a good rest now.

Once your energy returns naturally,

and you start to feel like you want to climb again,

you can slowly start climbing the mountain of life again, they said.

Furthermore,

that person continued as follows.

This rest period is,

a precious time,

to slowly rethink,

your life's goals and purpose.

If you try to decide in a hurry,

you will inevitably end up with superficial goals.

Therefore,

stop thinking about the future for a moment,

and for now, just,

clear your mind and rest.

"You are just taking a temporary break at a mountain hut,

　in the middle of climbing the mountain of life".

When I heard that gentle parable,

I still remember how the tightly wound thread of my heart,

suddenly loosened.

"I must do my best"

"I must keep moving forward"

I was freed from those obsessive thoughts,

and for the first time,

I allowed myself to simply rest.

And,

another warm memory,

is a conversation with my wife.

Driven by a sense of impatience,

one day, I asked my wife this.

'Why aren't you anxious, even though I'm in this state?' I asked.

To that question,

my wife, in a calm tone,

replied like this.

'Getting anxious or complaining won't change anything, will it?'

In those words,

there was no blame, no impatience,

and no disappointment included.

There was only,

the state I am in right now,

quietly and completely accepted,

with only a deep and vast kindness.

Even toward our children who are reaching adulthood,

my wife is always like that.

Respecting each person's individuality and pace,

never rushing them,

just standing firm and watching over them.

Every time I see that,

I feel relieved from the bottom of my heart,

and I feel a warmth inside.

Through these two events,

I made a decision.

'For now,

I will fully indulge in

this gentle time and

the warmth that has been extended to me.'

Since then,

Several years have passed.

If not for that rest period in my mountain hut of life,

and if not for my wife's immense kindness,

I surely would not be here today.

I would have lost my way in the midst of impatience,

and would have been completely exhausted in both mind and body.

Those warm words,

gave me true rest,

and the strength to start walking again.

Quietly remembering such things,

tonight again, I gently turn my smartphone face down,

and lie down in bed.

Good night.
