Sabbath

I can tell that I just had a sabbath experience (on a class retreat), because different phrases are jumping out at me; i.e. "rose from the dead" instead of "descended to the dead"; "heaven" instead of "thou shalt not."

Nice to realize that sabbath does not just mean sleeping in and not doing anything; sabbath experiences can be listening to others, walking in the woods (I'm still adverse to the word 'hike'; sounds too much like work); yoga; late-night talks and laughter with a circle of women. I feel rejuvenated, if not physically rested (because it really was a LATE night.)
