Episode Synopsis

Leviticus 25:1-7Psalm 16Luke 9:51-62"Whatever is foreseen in joyMust be lived out from day to day.Vision held open in the darkBy our ten thousand days of work.Harvest will fill the barn; for thatThe hand must ache, the face must sweat.And yet no leaf or grain is filledBy work of ours; the field is tilledAnd left to grace. That we may reap,Great work is done while we’re asleep.When we work well, a Sabbath moodRests on our day, and finds it good."By Wendell Berry, The Sabbath Poems 1979-1997
