Rest is an essential part of being human.
The need for rest is embedded in the creation story.
It is ritualised and practiced in the concept of Sabbath and sabbaticals.
Rest enables our body and spirit and soul to recover.
Rest gives space for our creative ideas to surface.
So ...
how do we use this gift of rest?
Fill it with busyness?
Lie languidly on a sofa?
Meditate?
Use it as an opportunity for grace to work in our lives?
