Divine Abundance: Leisure the Basis of Academic Culture

Its time to say a good word for the ten oclock scholar. The recovery of a flourishing academic culture--which is not the same as being a major research center--lies in the recovery of leisure. The heart of this practice is contemplation and Divine worship. It names furthermore our lives as being in communion with others the cosmos and ultimately with God. True leisure reconfigures our compartmentalized space and distorted time allowing us to experience Divine abundance that opens a path to the true restoration of the life of the mind.
