Rest
'Rest' Summary
In this collection of essays, John Sullivan Dwight explores the concept of rest as a means of personal growth and spiritual development. He draws on his own experiences as a Unitarian minister and music critic to reflect on the importance of finding moments of peace and tranquility in a busy world. Dwight discusses the role of nature, music, and contemplation in fostering inner peace and spiritual growth. He also explores the ethical dimensions of rest, arguing that it is not simply a matter of self-indulgence but a necessary practice for those who wish to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.Book Details
