So much of our work is mind work. Most of our tiredness is mental exhaustion. Our brains need a Sabbath, especially from a content-driven culture in which we are bombarded with more ideas and information than at any other time in human history. Because of this, we are drowning in a deluge of information yet craving the cool waters of transformation. The words of Abraham Heschel ring true: “The higher goal of spiritual living is not to amass a wealth of information, but to face sacred moments.”29
