There Is No Rush
The theology of progress forces us to act before we are ready. We speak
before we know what to say. We respond before we feel the truth of what we
know. In the process, we inadvertently create suffering, heaping imprecision
upon inaccuracy, until we are all buried under a mountain of misperception.
But Sabbath says, Be still. Stop. There is no rush to get to the end,
because we are never finished. Take time to rest, and eat, and drink, and be
refreshed. And in the gentle rhythm of that refreshment, listen to the sound
the heart makes as it speaks the quiet truth of what is needed.
