Sabbath



The image that appears above is from a page on Walking the Labyrinth that I put together a couple years ago.

Whether or not we follow a specific faith tradition, the idea of Sabbath has some merit. Even if it's not commanded by God, it is something our bodies can beg for and our minds yearn for.

Wayne Muller wrote:

Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the compass points that show us where to go. We lose the nourishment that gives us succor. We miss the quiet that gives us. Poisoned by the hypnotic belief that good things come only through tireless effort, we never truly rest. And for want of rest, our lives are in danger.
What do you do to rest, replenish, restore?
