Sabbath

“What if you thought of [this time] as the Jews consider the Sabbath—the most sacred of times? Cease from travel. Cease from buying and selling. Give up, just for now, on trying to make the world different than it is. Sing. Pray. Touch only those to whom you commit your life.” 

Lynn Ungar, Unexpected Sabbath

“During the Sabbath, we set aside a sanctuary in time, disconnect from the frenzy of consumption and accomplishment, and consecrate our day as an offering for healing all beings.” 
Wayne Muller


What if this isn’t just a time of forced distancing and isolation? What if this isn’t just a time for binge-watching Netflix or catching up on postponed tasks? What if you could regard it as a rich gift of contemplative leisure and holy Sabbath?
