Taking Notice (Sabbath Quotes)

Reading about Sabbath these days... here's few quotes from Mark Buchanan's The Rest of God.

For only those who number their days aright gain wise hearts. Only they become God’s sages: those calm, unhurried people who live in each moment fully, savoring simple things, celebrating small epiphanies, unafraid of life’s inevitable surprises and reverses, adaptive to change yet not chasing after it.

The truly purposeful have an ironic secret: the manage time less and pay attention more. The most purposeful people I know rarely overmanage time,…. The distinguishing mark of the purposeful is not time management. It’s that they notice. They’re fully awake.
Mark Buchanan

My whole life I have been complaining that my work was constantly interupted, until I discovered the interruptions were my work.
Henri Nouwen
