There's not many feelings better than taking a step back from work.
After snow-shoveling, lying down in a pile of snow. You're warm, but the snow cools you down. Fluffy snow is the best cushion in the world.
After homework on the computer, sitting on top of the roof, seeing the lights go out in other houses. It's high enough to be exciting, but not enough to be frightening.
After a weekend of wilderness survival training, lying down in a hammock. Swinging gently between two trees, with a sleeping bag acting as a blanket.
After running around camp in rain and thunder, making sure everyone's tent is set up properly for the storm, lying down on a bench in the dining hall.
After an intense game of tag at night, lying down in the grass, watching the fireflies.
Rest is amplified when it follows hard work. I want to be envisioned by these moments, and strive for more opportunities for genuine rest.
