We the Exhausted
We who have labored.
We have labored for so long, we are stretched so thin, we tremble and strain to go one more step.
It is from this point that we begin. Yesterday’s trials, the efforts of even the last few hours, no longer matter. The present, now, this moment, is the one from which we start.
Am I ready now? Surely no. But surely yes. When else could I start?

You have a special place in your heart for the exhausted ones, who have worked so hard for you yet still press on.
Let me press on.

Consider:
Can I be ready now?
