Granted we known each other for some time | It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine

Screen time keeps taking up more and more of our lives. Television screens. Computer screens. Cell phone screens. All of varying sizes and content, but nonetheless growing in their allotment of time in our day. (Ironically, I'm immersed in my "screen time" as we speak)

Lights, colors, images. These are all meant to bring excitement, a certain allure to the things we come into contact with every day. We are so caught up in a culture of sensationalism that our frame of reference is becoming narrower and narrower. Our nearsightedness regarding our actions has created a society in which it is acceptable to be impulsive and react instead of act with prudence and forethought.

We feel the need to have multiple sources of input at a time. Tickers running on the bottom of our screens. Scanning and skimming instead of reading. It's not surprising that we find more and more emphasis on image and presentation over substance and content.

It's a beautiful day today. I think I'll go and take a walk outside.
