Over Wired?

When was the last time you went outdoors? Have you noticed the flowers that are in bloom? Have you felt the sun on your face? We live in a wired world however what's right outside our door may be a whole lot more nourishing then the 24/7 jumping and jiving of the internet. I'm working on balance here. Yes I know it's important to be connected, to be visible, to be putting out the message, to be available to do the work and to be in the places where a lot of people are spending their time however it's also important to maintain a strong clear connection to the Earth. Gaia is our home - she has been around a lot longer than Web 2.0 and she'll be here long after the screens and harddrives and wires are in the landfills. Let's not forget our connections with nature in our hell bent rush to stay connected 'virtually'. What's so bad about a face to face meeting anyway? I, for one, enjoy holding someone's hand, looking into their eyes, sharing the breath, breaking bread or maybe just walking along a forest path or sandy beach together. Let's be friends shall we. I'll call you on the psychic hotline and we'll land together exactly on time in exactly the right place to make the magic we were meant to make together.
