We walk around our cities, on our beaches and in our towns. We use all manner of devices to remove ourselves from where we are. We listen to music, or hear mindless chatter of division and dissent. Our hands tap away at plastic screens and we miss life as it goes by us, unless the moment can bring us instant fame. We are immersed in not caring so much that our world has become a sad and lonely place. As people we no long talk, we only text and tweet. We sit in lonely cafe's in electronic silence cut off from reality. If we would simply take a moment and listen to a baby cry or look at the moving clouds and see the color of the sky. How much richer our lives might be. What might we regain. If we would only stop using technology to tune our humanity and to mask our loneliness and pain.
