Today I have rested. I haven’t been to church in months because that is anything but restful. I still kick myself for being less productive. Did the gods rest? Do they? Or is divinity 24/7? Men need rest. We are finite and fragile. The eternal and the sublime may recede in certain times and places but they never really stop. But men need to stop. No matter what we do and no matter how much we might enjoy or dislike something, it will eventually cease. And we will eventually cease as well. But we don’t have to go quietly into the night. As Weird Al put it, “I’ll be mellow when I’m dead.”
