I think about the fallacy of continuous growth when I see our farm fields. After every harvest they have a winter of rest and barrenness and it is necessary for the soil.

Oh that’s a great question. Sabbath rest may be a good start. I also love the Liturgical
Calendar and seasons that are meant to slow us down.
