Blueness
Sometimes tea
doesn't cure all, the house a state,
mind a quarry
once a mound
for springtime to burrow,
it's been said
I'll quiver at the
touch
of too much kindness,
too few apologies.
I also try to plant bulbs
in places with plenty
of light,
blue screen buzzing,
stolen twenties,
but there's no way to connect these days without
'online',
I tell myself that,
all the while, her eyes on mine.

I found this interesting.
There was one of our tent sisters decided she was spending too much time online but was worried she would miss out on her meetings. What was lovely is we all supported it — made sure people called, posted little notes through the door.
I think it gave a little help that offline is entirely possible. It just requires a little effort. And that’s what seems to be missing these days.
Thought provoking this one :)

Interesting read. It seems people are finding other avenues of "connect". Sales of musical instruments are booming as people decide to on-line less and learn a musical instrument. Sales in hard-copy books (not digital) are also booming as people rediscover reading. Home-cooking too is expanding as people no longer can go to restaurants. Not being able to visit family though is still a bummer.
