Rest inspires reliance. It allows us the vital energy and strength required to move forward in this world. It relinquishes the toxicity of exhaustion made certain by the overbearing burden of life, and restores us to remain living. Breathe, like the blood that flows through our veins, slows with the release of stress, and the body is able to relax. Uninhibited to alleviating oneself from the burden of risk, vulnerability ensues, and authenticity of self is restored.
