The Sabbath offers a moment when we are complete, whole, integrated, fully alive, fully together, one at least with ourselves. The Sabbath provides a chance to be comfortable and comforted in and out of a control world, a world short on care and long on sensation and threat, a world that addresses the dark with a thrill that flees from the healing grace of silence. The Sabbath settles as well as excites. The hope found in Sabbath generates excitement of possibility rather than the escape of distraction
