The Fallow Field
June 9th, 2010 → 4:03 pm @ Tom
Just as farmers allow a field to rest for a year after 6 or 7 cycles of planting, so a wise and intelligent cessation of all effort allows space for the dawning of something new.
It is a strange fact that students often get used to a tense state of struggle, and even feel “guilty” when they lay all effort aside for awhile. This is the same old tension patterns under a different coating.
J. Krishnamurti said it so well, “To be still after tilling and sowing, is to give birth to creation.” This Bible also teaches this by placing much importance on the Sabbath Day — the day of rest.
