Novena of Peaceful Sleep & Stillness of Mind
Dedicated to those enduring nighttime agitation, intrusive anxieties, terror, and the quiet heaviness of sorrow.
Glass of water with natural salt beneath the bed, dried lavender, quiet twilight recitations.
- Day 1 — Put the phone down. Name the hour you will pray.
- Day 2 — The argument that wants to replay.
- Day 3 — The body that will not unclench.
- Day 4 — Sorrow that is not content.
- Day 5 — Terror that has no plot.
- Day 6 — The people who share the bed or the wall.
- Day 7 — Dawn that comes too fast.
- Day 8 — A mind that can be still for one decade of breath.
- Day 9 — Thanks for any night that was only a night.
