GRANT ME GRACE this day
to rest and rememberthat there is nothing I have to do,
nothing I have to buy or sell,
nothing I have to produce or consumei
n order to become who I already am:
your beloved creation.
May your overworked creation
and those who cannot rest today
come to know the liberation of your sabbath.
