What a perfect holiday to stop, if but for a minute between courses, a bath before company, or best yet, getting time away.
It is a treat to get away, even if for a few minutes, but have you noticed that it takes you longer to unwind, unplug and detach?
I have, and it concerns me. There is so much electronic energy flowing that even the most technically challenged are suffering from its grip. Can you feel it?
The way we receive and access information has certainly changed technologically, but the information is still the same. The joy of information is to hear someone, anyone else’s version of it.
Sam Christensen, one of my mentors, recently said, “Do what technology does at a human level; start plugging in with people directly.”
I can’t agree more, as I write this to you from my computer, which will be delivered to you in one of many bloggy, non-human ways—ha!
So, I guess on that note, I am going to take my own suggestion and unplug for a while. I will be on hiatus until the second week of December; plugging in with myself, nature and above all, other people.
I will be back then to continue tackling my facebook, twitter, and linkedin accounts—intermittently.
And I am thankful.
