Therefore, I take a day (or more) off from attempting to write or even thinking about writing. I walk away from my computer and immerse myself in one of my hobbies: gardening or astronomy.

My hobbies, such that they are enjoyable and relaxing, revive my body and mind.(less)

“Therefore,
my proclamation to you this time
is of faith and trust and courage:
we shall have faith in each other's
strengths; we shall trust each other
with all our secrets and sacred dreams;
we shall have the courage
to make things whole!
[Final stanza of the poem, "Proclamation."]”
Joseph Whitson, Stone and Ice

“In the face of a disaster, do you believe strongly enough in humanity to expend your life to save the lives of others you do not even know?”
