Gentle Shepherd, We are about our own work today, focusing on a direction for our lives, then running with it for all we are worth. Our habit is to believe that nothing else matters but to reach the goal, the end of the day, with as much done as possible. You did a lot in six days, right? Aren't we supposed to emulate You in our thoughts, words, and, particularly our actions? This is what you want from us, isn't it?
Perhaps we have confused creativity, the joy with which you brought the world into being, with mad, frenzied doing. Perhaps we may ease our attention to the direction you have for us to follow, for today, and in doing so, we may feel the joy you felt on Saturday evening when you decided to rest and rejoice. Amen.
