We moderns
stride about,
smug in
certainty
and gizmos,
muttering paeans
to our gods
via Bluetooth.
We live
indulgent lives:
instant answers
instant love
beamed by
satellites
and towers.
But still
there remain
pockets of
wildness.
Devoutly
tapping
yields no
magic here.
Only rocks will
answer.

March 12, 2014 at 7:06 PMMaybe we spend too much time plugged into the wrong things. Which leaves us unplugged from the world around us..hard to think the www is only 25 years old but now so seemingly pivotal to our lives..a field and a thermos of tea..very good for the soul
