rest
"There are 2 sides to Sabbath: the deeper, more contemplative part that we label 'spiritual' and the more practical side of slowing down, which is the discipline of Sabbath. We often want to skip the discipline part and move right on to the deep, meaningful part. The trouble is, the only way to to get to the peace and joy and deeply spiritual part is by walking down the path of practicality. And all of it, the mundane, daily discipline and the 'deep', is spiritual."

He knows.
we need this.
and my spirit
and body
and family
are soaking it in.
