Rest. A simple word whose ex*****on can be terribly difficult in the busy fast paced world that we live in.
This quote from Wayne Muller’s book about Sabbath explains it so well.
“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 wisdom. 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.
How have we allowed this to happen? This was not our intention; this is not the world we dreamed of when we were young and life seemed full of possibility and promise. How did we get so terribly rushed in a world saturated with work and responsibility, yet somehow bereft of joy and delight?”
So, my hope for you today is that you find rest. I hope that you are able to recenter your compass in order to find wisdom and joy leading into this new week.
