They returned, and prepared spices and ointments.
On the sabbath they rested
according to the commandment.
— Luke 23.56
In the beginning
you opened up
an emptiness
in yourself
for creation:
space
for darkness to sit in,
then time,
for light to travel.
This day of emptiness,
formless and void,
a pregnant pause
of sabbath rest,
space in you,
and time between,
divine abyss
for Creation
to happen.
