How I Unplug
I was asked recently by an amazing organization called Reboot for my thoughts on what the Sabbath means to me in the current always-on, real-time information age. They follow:
We live in a world of endless information flow. Bits and bytes are our food and water. They move back and forth at a deafening pace. In this world of boundless stimulation and interaction, how does one disconnect, reflect, take stock? One of the defining elements of this information economy is it’s social, connected nature, where we both put out and consume information as part of our shared human experience. For me, it is the information intake that when left unchecked tends to overtake me. Setting aside a fixed weekly time for contemplation, whenever and for however long it is, allows me to disconnect and refocus internally. Then, what I put out more closely reflects my true ‘self’ rather than tending towards a boomerang-like reflection of what I take in. This return to self is my Sabbath, my peace, a chance to reconnect with my inner thoughts and light.
