Rest is a gift. Within our rest we find the wings with which we are called to fly. However, rest takes the ability to let go and trust in the in-between that we are held and safe. Rest was something I really struggled with in a season and when asking myself “what does rest look like”. So I decided to paint a little and very simple watercolour painting with that question in mind. Not thinking much of it at the time, it wasn’t until a few months later that I turned the simple painting into a print and I was amazed when my little painting ended up looking like the wings of a butterfly, full of vibrant colours.

This became a profound reminder to me that when we rest we will take flight and emerge with new wings, colours and life!
