Just Joshin'
Some weeks the words don’t come as easily as others. It’s been a tornado of a week, so bear with me as I find my way back to Kansas.
There seems to be stimulation everywhere now. Social media, television, news, phones. Something is always flashing pretty colors in our faces asking for our attention.
I’m writing this on my medium screen, while my larger screen is on, and my small screen is sitting next to me. They’re staring at me.
It’s strange to think that life existed without so much of this technology not all that long ago. Believe it or not, I grew up without a cellphone. Now, many of us probably feel lost if ours is more than a few feet away.
Advancing technology is a wonderful thing, don’t get me wrong. It informs and connects us and makes plenty of things easier. I just hope we remember that our own minds are pretty incredible tools, too. They need room to wander, think, create, and occasionally just be silent.
I can feel the three glowing rectangles judging me like a jury.
