Sabbath requires surrender. If we only stop when we are finished with all our work, we will never stop, because our work is never completely done.

Meditation helps me feel the shape, the texture of my inner life. Here, in the quiet, I can begin to taste what Buddhists would call my true nature, what Jews call the still, small voice, what Christians call the holy spirit.
