Sabbath: Relishing the Power of Unproductivity
Many of us have had to acclimatize to this weird dynamic of "working from home," or being home and trying to get work done (as well as homeschooling and/or parenting and/or disinfecting, and/or...). Others aren't working and are collecting cheques from the government. So many of us are trying to figure out who we are to be if we're can't be productive. But what if not working is just as spiritually important as working? What if getting nothing done is as good for the soul as getting something done? What could we learn from being unproductive, that we could never learn from being productive?
