Will We Let the Mind Rest?

Due to a lack of inspiration, even this weary pen won't flow... thoughts freeze and allow confusion... when stillness seems a wind that doesn't blow. By letting the mind rest, will it restore itself to wholesomeness and usefulness? Isn't it like our body that refuses to perform well, when it's exhausted and needs to escape from unbearable tiredness? Tomorrow awakening, we'll take that challenge by promising a story to tell! If idleness perseveres, all the honorable glories we've accumulated will be lost to remoteness and time, our ideals will fall into oblivion and entirely forgotten by others... then should we let the mind rest, to stop the writing process in its prime? I suggest perseverance over needless deprivation; expressing oneself freely and honestly is effective and worth pursuing, it provides against profound silence and dull stagnation... will we let the mind rest and not discover something worth seeing?
