Our Summer Sabbath Series ends with a focus on time. In her book Soul Feast, Marjorie Thompson invites us to imagine the rhythm of a day from the same perspective of the Jewish tradition, which begins with sundown. Imagine for a moment that eating dinner and going to bed was considered the first thing you
did, not the last. What if the first act of your day was actually sleeping 6-8 hours? This exercise opened my mind to new possibilities about what it means to begin a day not producing or achieving, but completely resting.
