“Sabbath, in the first instance, is not about
worship. It is about work stoppage. It is about withdrawal from the anxiety
system of Pharaoh, the refusal to let one’s life be defined by production and
consumption and the endless pursuit of private well-being.”
― Walter Brueggemann

a violent sky
crashing and flashing
filled with smoke
fiery destruction
battling
wind and rain
swirling
dark chaos
no sunrise here
only gray upon black
and then
a reddish glimmer
one small glimpse
of sun
breaking through
a thin shaft of light
piercing the value
a reminder of the calm blue sky
and life giving sun behind the chaos
ultimately triumphant
