Load yourself down
with the material burden.
Distract yourself
with the day’s demands.
Become busy and involved.
Scramble for your living.
Reach for the next task.
Work yourself to a frazzle.
Torture your timetable.
Suffer burnout.
Make the office your sanctuary,
productivity your goal.
Press a phone to your ear.
Consult your computer.
Arrange another meeting.
Make more plans.
But whatever you do—
do not stop!
Avoid the sacred.
