“Sabbath is more than the absence of work; it is not just a day off, when we catch up on television or errands. It is the presence of something that arises when we consecrate a period of time to listen to what is most deeply beautiful, nourishing, or true. It is time consecrated with our attention, our mindfulness, honoring those quiet forces of grace or spirit that sustain and heal us.”
Wayne Muller, Sabbath: Finding Rest, Renewal, and Delight in Our Busy Lives
Today, may we turn our attention to the quiet forces that sustain and heal us.
