The concept
of rest, of setting aside a day when we should set aside our labors is
interesting, and I think becoming increasingly futile as time goes on. Most of
us now take our work with us wherever and whenever we go. I have friends who
are, literally, on-call for their jobs. No, they’re not doctors.
As for
myself, I seem to always have a project going on that needs my attention. And
there’s always writing. Though that is more of a passion than a labor. Still,
it’s been a while since I truly set my labors aside, more like delayed them for
a short period of time, but never truly set them aside.
