connecting
…
On.
Off.
on and
off.
busy Doing
Hard Time
and distraction
from things that fill
a
Soul.
avoidance
of all
joy
and sorrow
equally measured
as dangerously
too honest
investment
i walk on
the line
an ongoing
useless effort
to Be
Seen
a haze of white light
and caffeine.
familiarly
uncomfortable limbo
my 100 MPBS
connection
top-class-denial
of affection
in a disconnected
world
of make
believe
Still
more
more secure than the touch
of feeling
only
human
in a too often
unreal world
Inspired by a piece of writing ready today that resonated strongly. Asterion
My response:
This resonates with me deeply.
It took me the better half of two years to quit my tech addiction.
On and off. On and off. The busy-ness and distraction from the things that fill my soul. Huh. Going to use that in a poem or something.

My phone finally died a few weeks ago. I bought a little old school sms and calls only thing. Life has slowed down immensely.
Now I have to sit at my laptop to “connect”. Or should we be saying disconnect ;)
I’m keeping it! No more smart phones for me.
Thanks for your valuable reading time.
