I have to say, @verbal-d, you understand my work and express the core and subtle aspects of it more eloquently than almost anyone I've experienced before. Thank you very much for reading, upvoting, and taking the time to leave this thoughtful analysis. You would thrive as an editor, you would be great at doing book reviews as well.
I hate how detached we're becoming as a society, we're connecting but not connected any more. I even watch people walking their dogs in our neighborhood and instead of enjoying a quiet 10-15 minutes to clear their minds and connect with their pet, they're instead on their phones. It's a sad state of affairs. I hope we learn how to use this awesome technology a little more wisely soon.
I have almost a whole chapter in my upcoming meditation book dedicated to "screen time management".
I'm following you now.
You're most welcome @ericvancewalton I've said this before and I'll continue to say it when it is well deserved, thank you for inspiring such a reflective response with your profound literature. Thank you for following me as well, I look forward to your next chapter. I actually believe the poem I posted today goes hand in hand with your poem here. It is called Violet Values. Please enjoy it when you have leisure.
