Day 17: Fatigue may be an ally

Before I entered into the practice, I fought fatigue. Believed it was weakness. Or I gave into it fully, let it flood me. So that I just laid around. It turned out fatigue could be incredibly helpful. Could bring insight and nuance. Sometimes fatigue allowed me to sense into a poem without trying so hard to "figure it out." I know they say being sleep-deprived is unhealthy, but maybe fatigue is different from that, maybe when we cozy up to it without letting it take us over, it is our ally.
