An idea, a thought, an anecdote, a story or a poem a day!

    This new world, with old maladies, and the new ways of expressing them Connected virtually and disconnected  really Speaking through machines to machines! What is in this conversation we are having 24/7 Always ready, always connected With our heads down, our fingers busy, we don’t look up, and  in the Algorithms of what is expected,  we keep producing standard answers, 😊😑👏💓 claps, smilies, frowns, love hearts, cheers🥂 As they say better than what I can say or what you choose to say, even tears 😓  You are reading me, but are you listening? We are creating our own truths, analogous to each other, walking together but never the twain meet! I ‘breathe’ in my echo chamber, breathe in what chimes with me, breathe in what rhymes with me,    While you, in yours, thinking the same!    You don’t see, what I see,  a different script of the same story Written in our parallel worlds My heroes are not heroes in your story and vice versa...

    Let distance keep us together   It is so much easier to feel you, When I cannot see you, cannot touch you or smell you!   As when you are a far I can paint a perfect picture of you, and us, of our life! In it, I will be the love of your life; and you the life of my love …   And our life, an ad for eHarmony Our love - a Facebook post   Please let's not zoom nor WhatsApp ! It will be much more delicious to think of you,   Please let’s not phone each other! It will be much more poignant to speak to you/listen to you, Through the silence between us Heard melodies are sweet, but those not heard, are sweeter!
