REST.

I have been creating a body that I have loosely based on the notion of rest.  I feel that before I came to NYC I needed one, and since then the impact of living and working here has me constantly thinking about the need for rest and what it means.

I looked at the Wikitionary definition of rest and found this:

REST-

• (sleep): sleep, slumber
• (relief from exertion): break, repose, time off
• (freedom from trouble): peace, quiet, silence, stillness, tranquility
• (repose afforded by death): peace
• (object designed to be used to support something else): cradle (of a telephone), support

My favorite without getting all Ordeal by Roses on everyone, is "repose afforded by death."  

Which leads me to the whole western perception of death, but I'll leave that for another post...
