Commonplace Vol. 06 - Seasons of Sabbath

About this Issue "Sabbath" means to stop or cease movement, but it doesn’t have to mean stopping all activity. Rest and sabbath can be simply a change of pace, an on-purpose cutting out (or bringing in) of activities that promote a calm reorienting to what is true about the world. Think about what sabbath looks like in your life, whether it is stolen moments of peace in a hectic day, weekly days of rest, or a longer period of sabbatical. How do you rest? What practices do you keep? How do you find sabbath when life doesn't give you the luxury of a vacation or a day off? As you slowly savor this visually calming, and word-rich issue, we hope you catch a new and hopeful vision for what it means to “sabbath” well.  Cover illustration by Andrew Wollman Includes the original poetry, articles, photography, and artwork of more than three dozen contributors Features 168 pages offset printed on luxurious, uncoated paper. Book size: 8x10.
