I was bemoaning the fact that by reading the news on the computer you miss the feeling of the massive amount of paper that used to be one of the things that spelled : Sunday.
That and in the old country, freshly baked bread from the local bakery.
Sure, it has been many years since I bought a Sunday paper and it does seem that the writers of the blogs and the ones putting the regular news on the web, are all taking the commandment to heart, the one that says
Kom hviledagen i hu at du holder den hellig
And I have no idea where this came from. This is the commandment that tells you to honor the sabbath, only I can remember it in my native language.
I did not go to a religious school, nor did we have more than cursory instruction in bible knowledge, but somehow this bit got lodged in my memory some sixty years ago and is still there.
I admit that I had to look up the ten commandments and none others are that clear to me.
Funny things, minds. They sure can play tricks on you.
And all this because I was missing the heft and joy of the Sunday paper. And maybe more so now that Sundays seem so long.
