We put heavy expectation
on vacation.
We ask those days for
refreshment,
recharge,
reinvigoration.
Upon returning,
we often come with hesitation
because
the work we left behind,
the overcommitted schedules,
the habits of mind
have been waiting
at the station.
And 24 hours later,
we are right back to the same frustration.
Wouldn’t it be better,
to not lay such a burden on vacation,
but to order all
our days,
our weeks,
our lives
for times of
engagement,
enjoyment,
and
edification?
