Was talking to a friend this morning who had spent this summer hiking with a small group. Part of the deal was that each of them would spend several days off alone in the wilderness.
I thought this was incredible. They would go off alone and simply spend time resting in the wilderness before returning to the grueling hike. There are amazing things our society does well, but resting isn’t one of them.
I don’t know where we lost our focus on rest but we need to find it and restore its importance.
