severing the cord

by christopher on July 27th, 2008

this world of keys, clicks, electronic blips, newsfeeds, blogs, etc., etc,, etc…

it’s draining.

I like to call myself one who loves nature and yet day in and day out I confine myself to this prison of interconnected wires transmitting useless (mostly) information back and forth like some sort of internet convict who stares through his prison window bars to the outside world like it’s some illusion I can’t quiet reach.

but I can.

I just don’t.

so I’m thinking of severing the cord.  Metaphorically of course.  I’ve taken a break before but I’m thinking something more long term.  If I’m to develop a lifestyle of communion with “mother nature” that I so desire, it’s probably a good idea to shake the dust off my own sluggish lap and spend some time in her company.

so I might vanish for a while.

at least my E-Persona.

    I feel the same way man. I’m not ready to let go though. I need to learn to balance my time a little more and not get sucked in on the prospect of just one more link.
