of non stop hard work he might wear himself out and die an early death Only after a week s leave during which he read novels listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach was Rudenstine able to return to work In our modern life we have lost the rhythm between action and rest Amazingly within this world there is a universal but silly saying I am so busy We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress The busier we are the more important we seem to ourselves and we imagine to others To be unavailable to our friends and family and to be unable to find time to relax this has become the model of a successful life Because we do not rest we lose our way We miss the guide telling us where to go the food providing us with strength the quiet giving us wisdom How have we allowed this to happen I believe it is this we have forgotten the Sabbath the day of the week for followers of some religions for rest and praying It is a day when we are not supposed to work a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones give thanks share meals walk and sleep It is a time for us to take a rest to put our work aside trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world Rest is a spiritual and biological
