A friend who observes the Sabbath said something to me recently that hasn’t left my head:
“A day without the phone is better than a holiday with it.”
No notifications. No scrolling. No half-presence while your mind is somewhere else. Just one day, fully here.
We spend so much money and vacation time chasing rest — and still bring the one thing that steals it right along with us.
Maybe the upgrade isn’t a better trip. It’s a better disconnect.
