I'm not a Christian in the traditional sense: I don't go to church or read the Bible but that doesn't stop me from observing the sabbath. I just seems like a good idea to take a day to rest.
It's not that I don't do anything; it's that I don't do anything I don't want to do. Sometimes I condition my hair, somethings I read a book, somethings I cook, sometimes I do all of the above. I try to minimize or ignore obligations. There are few things that can't be pushed into next week.
Before the day is over, I like to spend a little time thinking about the coming week - I imagine it spread out before me, a blanket of opportunity. I wonder if that's what God had in mind when she decided to rest after creating the earth and sky.
