Rest Is Part of the Trellis Growing the Gifts We've Been Given – Part 2 Is rest the opposite of growth—or could it actually be part of the support that helps us flourish? In this episode of The Truth About Storytelling, I continue the Growing the Gifts We've Been Given series by exploring how walking, reading, prayer, birding, and other forms of intentional rest help cultivate creativity, faith, and resilience. After the reflection, I continue reading from my epic fantasy novel, Dark Blade Forged. Tyreantales.com
