FLASH DIARY: (from a dream) Remember the Sabbath
Jay advises his wife on the running of her event-planning business.
One of her employees plans to take the day of the event off as a family day. The group labors over last-minute plans for the event, and Martha, Jay’s wife, says “Oh! This is going to be so much harder with Evelyn taking the day off.”
“She should be there,” Jay chimes in. “Every employee should be required to work every day, especially the day of an event.”
Alice, Martha’s mother, a gentle woman who rarely speaks–especially to contradict another–says, “If you’re going to require that every employee has to be at work every day, then there ought to be a day when every employee doesn’t have to be at work.”
“Sort of like a Sabbath,” Martha says.
The conversation stalls for a long minute.
“I never thought of it that way, but, yes, there ought to be such a day,” Jay says.
