lazy sunday

It's weird, the images that stay with us. Today the image I'm recalling is from The Associate, starring Whoopi Goldberg. There's this scene after everything has gone wrong for her, and so she's locked herself up in her apartment. When Dianne Wiest comes to convince her to fix her life, we see her apartment filled with completed jigsaw puzzles. 

Every Sunday, I don't do work. Now, the reason for this is that I think I work really hard the rest of the week, and according to the bible, I'm entitled to one day of rest... Right? Writing that down, I realize the bible doesn't really say that. It says that I should keep the Sabbath holy. It's not about my version of resting (which is watching seasons of tv shows) but it's about re-dedication, re-focussing. 

Sometimes I feel like I have all the answers, if I just sat and thought things out. But that's certainly not true: I think it's more like I can't stand having unanswered question in my head, so I make up incomplete answers.
