holidays.vacation.rest.
so exams are over. amazing how ironically appropriate it was that they played "Finding Nemo" in the quarantine room and it ended with the scene where the fish in the aquarium finally made (bounced) their ways to the open waters, still contained in their plastic bags. then they looked at each other and went: "NOW WHAT"?
feels a bit like that after exams - out in the wide oceans (FREEDOM!!) but in some ways still floating inside the plastic bag.
many have gone away for holidays and vacations. holidays probably means touring, seeing things, adventure, going places. vacation: slower-paced, more relaxing, stretched out on the beach type of picture. (however, don’t ask me why SWOT Vac is considered a vacation. what a misnomer).
all in all, people just need a "break", getaway, escapade to hidden tranquilities of life. only to find at the end of it that we’re still in that plastic bag!
R E S T is different. it’s the peculiar peace that exists despite the calamities of life, a constant assurance that comes from knowing the Author of life who is in control and holding our future in His hands.
it is a freedom that is true. it is a real swim in the waters of the oceans. you recognize it when you’re immersed in it.
know His Power in quietness and trust.
