The Sabat: March 2011

Welcome to my blog!

The name comes from the Old English word (sabat), which comes to us through Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. It's origin is "to rest", and is etymologically connected to Sabbath and Sabbatical. It seemed appropriate... given my current time of transition. This blog allows a place for personal reflection, shares my whereabouts and happenings, but most importantly - it is a vehicle for your reactions to my submissions. My hope is that, as a group, we have a running dialog pertaining to those things that really matter.

I promise to read each post, but please know that replies may be sporadic and/or delayed. For my plans in the near-future will frequently have me "out of pocket", or I may just need to escape the day-to-day deluge of electronic ping pong . But feel free to submit a post. We are all traveling together on this journey to understand, called life; and each perspective is important.

Let's keep in touch as we share the journey!

Be well,

Sam

When Opting Out is Opting In

Thanks, Esther, for sharing this great blog entry from the Washington Post. It's not always easy to follow our convictions when they are not aligned with the currents of popular thought. But this father is an example for us all.
