Only a few years back, I kept my cell phone in a box... It was like my "dresser"... My plastic crate... The phone only got turned on every few days... Or every couple of weeks even. Nowadays it's on even at night..."in case of emergency" but that's different... I'm not as secure...I still keep it out of my hands and face down to not draw my attention by a lit up screen... Volume off most of the time... And especially if somebody is speaking to me. When I'm being with people...I do my best to be intentionally present... I'm so glad you've written this and that you are thinking about these things and calling out to others to think and feel into what is happening to us... To choose consciously... We don't need to fight the flow of life.. But we do need to choose the currents and waves to ride and not just let ourselves be washed out to sea...
