Dear Baird, what a beautiful way to reflect on the need for a pause! I am certain that a field left fallow will soon become fertile ground, ready for new growth.
What ancient wisdom that was easily forgotten: by leaving things untouched for a while, we actually encourage change. Thank you for sharing this, Marc.
Thank you Baird for sharing this link with me. Your post really resonated as I am looking at creating less for a time so I can replenish my energies and inspiration. Fallow time is good for all of us.
Beautiful. And exactly what I needed to hear. I've been berating myself for my output recently. Today I am going to curl up with a book and input lots rather than output! Thank you.
So glad my little sermon served its purpose Michelle! Self-criticism only further chokes off the creative flow. It makes me happy to envision you feeding and refueling that marvelous writing engine of yours!
We forget that sometimes, creativity and energy need time to recharge—like letting a field lie fallow so it can become fertile again. We don’t always have to be in control, and taking a pause isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of wisdom.

Being receptive is a gorgeous part of being human. I agree that we often have forgotten the benefits of fallow time. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing that perspective Hans!
