A friend today…

“I just need a day to recover and be myself again and then i can serve endlessly. I really need a tangible Sabbath.” My friend said to me today. He continued, “I know it’s not just about being away from people, it’s deeper. I need a place to remember my name.” Nice definition of Sabbath—a place to remember our names.

I relate to that. I told him he could come stay in my trailer if he needs an escape from his roles (sometimes we just need a mental escape from the roles we play) and things he’s caught up in. Just to be himself again.

Aren’t we all just trying to be ourselves again, daily…..

This is why I think Sabbath is the most neglected practice in our times. To actually rest in Being. Or however you name it. To be yourself (outside your tasks, masks, or previous accomplishments) for a moment, still matters. To not just be defined by what we do, but who we actually are, and rest in that space and place, still matters!
