We all need a certain amount of "fallow time," Yvonne reminds me.
"Watching the grass grow, sitting on the hillside, staring out the window daydreaming. When we don't have it, there is a deeper intelligence that won't come forth."
Mine is a racehorse rhythm, and once I get started in the morning it's difficult for me to stop. Now I can see that a pause — even a very small pause — is extremely useful.
These "little Sabbaths" replenish my body — and spirit.
