Exodus 31:13 · World English Bible
Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.
There is a rhythm at the heart of things, a pause built into the movement of your days. Keeping it is not a rule but a remembering.

EGO & BEING
There is a rhythm at the heart of things, a pause built into the movement of your days. Keeping it is not a rule but a remembering. When the doing stops, the noise in the mind settles, and something quieter comes forward that was always there beneath the striving.
This pause is the sign, the mark of a deeper relationship with the source of your own aliveness. You do not make yourself holy by effort. You become still, and in the stillness you feel that what gives you life was already at work in you, before any of your trying began.
Ego v. Being lens
What in me believes I have to earn the right to stop?
Return to stillness and you return to your root. Everything rushes outward and everything comes back, and knowing that steadiness is clarity.
The sages said they had found nothing better for a person than silence, and that silence is a fence around wisdom.
Breathing in, know you are breathing in. The practice is not making something new, it is coming back to what was already happening.
