IT’S SYMBOLIC OKAY
I have timed my entire life. Time consumes my life like nothing else. Logically I understand that I can’t live for ever so I want to insure every moment counts. Yet I have to realize that some of the best moments are when I don’t look at my phone (watch has been gone years ago). Whether it playing ball with my dogs, watching a movie, listening to music or just talking with friends these are the true moments I hold on to. Yet the battle for time continues as I obsess over whether I’ve wasted you get it “time”. If this isn’t bad enough I worry whether I’m wasting other people’s time.
The obsession with time is because I would like to accomplish a great deal in a short period and if I don’t accomplish those goals I feel like I’ve failed. Sabbath has enabled to break from this period a bit as I take a day to realize that as hard as I might work G-D is still in charge and my efforts would amount to nothing without Hash-m’s divine intervention. Sabbath might help me realize that but I also like to help and since G-D has a longer watch then mine I’m probably going to still being rush along.
