I’m going to be really honest here…writing the intro for this podcast was REALLY HARD. After all, what do you focus on when the ENTIRE SHOW is so freaking good?

He emphasizes that Sabbath is a personal and vital aspect of worship, not bound by legalism, serving as a foretaste of the restoration to come when Jesus returns. Through practicing Sabbath, believers are reminded of their identity as children of God and their redemption in Jesus.

We can learn to use a practice of skillful pendulation in our sitting practice, and in the whole our life as a means of grounding with challenge. This is a practice of flowing with a natural movement of coming and going, contraction and release, breathing in and breathing out, tides moving in and out, day moving to night and back to day, movement of seasons, and the up and down of bird wings. Rumi, translator-Coleman Banks The Essential Rumi: Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as bird wings.
