"Men have become tools of their tools." In August, I'll celebrate 6 years of blogging at sixthgen.com. In that time, I've posted nearly every week. Now it's time to take a break. Today I begin a blogging sabbatical until September.
Tools, like the internet, are good things. This blog allows me to reach thousands of people around the country and world. But as Thoreau noted, "Men have become tools of their tools." Even good things can enslave us. I'm checking my use of technology and assessing my workload. Taking a break from regular blogging is part of my re-calibration. Fields need to lie fallow in order to be more fertile. Calloused hands need time to soften. Weary feet need to be lifted. Thanks for following me. I'm grateful for the support. This summer, find some time for rest, health, and leisure. And if you're looking for summer reading, go here. Peace, Jeff
