RestRegroupingConvalescenceA strategic retreat
Upright meaning
The knight lies resting in the chapel — not fallen, regrouping. Stepping back is strategy, not retreat. Resting now becomes your capability in the next phase.
If it were reversed
The body is signalling stop and you are ignoring it. If you will not rest yourself, circumstances will make you.
