How can we think that this behavior of instant gratification is healthy, moral or productive?
I believe that there is power in patience and supernatural peace in simplicity.
How quickly, we've forgotten. How quickly we've forgotten.
So enthralled with today's newest phase, so amazed by everything we can get done in one day....
that we've................ forgotten to be patient and to just enjoy one another. No time for our fellow brother.
My mission is to turn every text message into a conversation.
.....turn every tweet about what's wrong with our world into a handwritten letter to our congressman fully justified, and all.
.....take every electronic reader and pile them high enough so that children can step on them and reach books, to read and allow their young imaginations to grow.
We are so quick to press, send, end, delete and enter that we forgot about the warmth of conversation and the smell of a hardback novel. Ummmm, I can still smell my first trip to the Library. One of the gentlest feelings, I've ever know.

I don't know if anyone is hearing my message. But I am praying that my words rise off the proverbial page and plant a seed so deep down inside you that your skin crawls and outrage forms and you join me in enjoying the fruits of patients and the magnificent rest of peace.

My initial reaction was to quickly comment...which I am doing. I want to give you a thumbs up, an online high five, and a sistergurl cyber hello. Quick. To the point. Without fully digesting what you've written. It's late and I only read it once. Shouting you out, but re-reading it later. Thanks for the reminder...
