It's important to have a small space, and a place where time stops for a moment. Whether that's a Sabbath or whether that's a room where you close the door and there are no clocks.

In "The Sabbath World," Judith Shulevitz talks about the way that time became standardized over time; it didn't become standardized right away, it became standardized in chunks and bits, until finally, we had a global sense of time. And with that global sense of time came a global sense of immediacy, a global sense of something happening everywhere all the time at once. And with that sense of everything happening everywhere all at once comes this sense of overwhelm. How much time can you let go of, to find the rhythm, to find the space where you can just be yourself?
