Time To Talk


Time to talk.
Here I am, 'blogging' away and not sure to whom I am addressing my thoughts. I suppose I'm a product of our time: unlimited access to speak my truth to anyone who'll listen.
I am struck at how we peck away on keyboards or handhelds instead of picking up a phone or better yet, talking face-to-face.
Though I appreciate and welcome the convenience and efficiency of instant, global, ubiquitous communication, I am sad that we traded quantity of information for quality of conversation. There's certainly more said, but with fewer points made.
I find that unlimited access to information comes at a price. I need to self-govern what e-mail, texts, social networks I read or join to filter distractions and clutter.
And, I need to continually remind myself that staying in touch virtually is not always enough to sustain and grow a meaningful relationship.
Let's talk.
