I wonder if the need for constant connection is to help us drown out what we know we've lost - the ability to sit with ourselves, and each other, and the Earth. It just feels like noise to distract us...
Indeed. I feel you. 🙌 And it is the fucking instant! the power fails that these things kick on and rob us of the gift of human silence for a time.
I love it when the power goes out, except for the drone of generators; the forced stillness and “silence”, the mystery returning; the absence of distraction and the forced simple survival living.
That would drive me crazy too!
