Rest

Rest

Each beginning leads to an end, each end is followed by a beginning, between end and beginning lies rest, stillness. Rest and movement are the two states in which the being can be found. Plato considered them supreme genres of being. Aristotle said that rest is the imperceptible form of movement.
