“Sabbath requires surrender. If we only stop when we are finished with all our work, we will never stop, because our work is never completely done. With every accomplishment there arises a new responsibility….Sabbath dissolves the artificial urgency of our days, because it liberates us from the need to be finished.”
― Wayne Muller

For my first attempt – not so bad. It was a good day.
Yes, the guy who invented work didn’t live long enough to do it all. One of my favorites. Antother one…. The more stuff you have, the more stuff you have to take care of.
Both VERY true! I’ve always liked “When you die, your in basket won’t be empty.” : )
see? you try to do nothing and just look at all the wonderful things you accomplished on your “sabbath” – huzzah!
It was a wonderful day, though I will confess – a little hard to do absolutely nothing. I didn’t take a picture of the basket(s) of laundry. But still, not bad for a first effort.
