About
Man was not meant to be slave to a machine. The machines were meant to be the slaves...
I am just trying to navigate a path between the human desire to be immersed in life and the human creations that disconnect people from truly living.
It happens all the time. At restaurants I see people busy talking on their mobile phone and ignoring the friends they are dining with. On roads I watch as thousands drive by every day, isolated from the world as they ride in their coccoon down the highway, oblivious to the environment just a few inches away from them. Everywhere I watch people throw trash on the ground because they have never learned to respect the world that we depend on for our very existence.
I watch, and I ponder...
I want to restore the balance between nature and the human spirit.
But not at the expense of a return to the stone age. The problem is not technology, it's the way we use the technology. The way we think and the beliefs we hold (or don't hold) leads us to live a life that is either full of beauty or full of pain. I vote for beauty.
I am exploring: the body, the mind, and the spirit; what it is to be human; how to live productively when necessary and in the moment when possible; and how to make the changes necessary as an individual and as a culture to make sure future generations have the same abilities that I do to live a wonderful life.
You're welcome to join me...
