Has our world become so technological, emphasis on logical,
that our humanity is no longer relevant?
People visiting health professionals report
the practitioner so focused on data and time
they scarcely look up from their charts.
They report feeling like a unit rather than a human.
Brook discusses how friendships and close relationships
have diminished over the past few decades.
"The number of close friendships Americans have appears to have declined considerably over the past several decades. In 1990, less than one-third (27 percent) said they had three or fewer close friends, while about as many (33 percent) reported having 10 or more close friends.[7] Only 3 percent said they did not have any close friends.
Something comes to mind as I write this--
Are some of us reducing some friendships
in order to get in better touch with ourselves,
in a move to becoming more authentic?
Could this be a sign of healing?
It saddens me to think that the Humanities
are becoming marginalized.
Doesn't it feel like our survival depends on this?
I'm wondering if we are in a period of recalibration.
May it be so.
May we find the clearest channel for ourselves and each other,
increasing our well being in the process.
Namaste'
