Rest is the conversation between what we love to do and how we love to be.
To rest is to give up on worrying and fretting and the sense that there is something wrong with the world unless we put it right.
We are rested when we let things alone and let ourselves alone, to do what we do best, breathe as the body intended us to breathe.
To rest is not self-indulgent, to rest is to prepare to give the best of ourselves, and to arrive at a place where we are many times able to understand what we have already been given.
Rested we care again for the right things and the right people in the right way.
- from an easy by David Whyte on rest
