We all need Sabbath:
recovery, reconnection, reconstruction.
Our vocations inflate like balloons
near to bursting.
Our avocations
evolve into obligations.
Social media demands
instant responsiveness.
We are not built for this.

Stop.

For a day,  or two hours, or just 15 minutes…
for God's sake,
for your sake,
for the sake of those you love…
stop.
