Coming back

Waking up, again.  Finding perspective is an active task -- More difficult than it sounds.

It is easy to sink down into the snow that results from the daily avalanche of news, outrage, entertainment and everything else that calls, pulls and drags our attention to it. 

It has become a science: catching our eyeballs, making us stop, respond, buy, consume and little to show for it except for a loss of attention, a loss of precious time, an opportunity cost of what could have been. 

I seek to drag myself back into the world, to keep my own counsel, to find out what has been happening with myself.
