Silence, solitude and simplicity will be mine when I step onto the bus to the airport on Wednesday and begin my travel to Italy. Oh, getting there won’t really be silent, solitary or simple, but I’ll be on my own in my own little world. That’s what I long for every so often, a sabbatical from my life in community.
We usually think of sabbatical as something for ministers or college professors. But why not for everyone? Everyone who wants one, and that probably includes everyone. Therefore, I put this idea out there for everyone. Claim a sabbatical to a favorite space for a substantial amount of time. Maybe it is to a spot in the woods or the park, or far away from home, or somewhere in between. Maybe it’s for an hour or an afternoon, or for two weeks, which is the time I’m taking. Happy sabbatical.
