[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 656736, member: 17461"] We hear and read about the bad, shocking things. The good things, the normal, everyday goodness in all of us, doesn't make good copy. I see that too in the way things are advertised. Sexual hooks used for selling cars or Korean air or frozen dinners. I am thinking about taking a technology break. One of the books I am reading now is "The Arabian Nights." The real one, the classic one, filled with the stories Scheherazade told the Sultan to keep her own life. I have been reading a few pages to D H at Happy Hour. We are enjoying the stories, each more complex and entertaining and meaningful than the last. So, it got me thinking about how we use our time and our brains, and about what it must have been like to sit with only ourselves and the stars and each other, at the end of the day. And what it means to come awake, make coffee, and go online as opposed to waking up and not doing that. You see I am still here, today. Ahem. Cedar P.S. I love this very real human being story, Susie. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
