I've said it before:I'm a thinker. While chasing my own inner being I've discovered that I'm running down the path of discovery.
As a society I think we've lost the distinction between efficiency and effectiveness. In today's realm things need to be efficient in order to be effective and not vice versa.
What ever happened to pride in one's craft? There was a time when the batiked fabric to the left would have been hand waxed and inked. Nowadays everything is machine spun and dyed. Our evenings are filled with TV and lack books. Our kitchens are filled with microwaves and in some cases lack real ovens.
Am I chasing an antiquated ideal??? I long for a good book. I'm actually reading 3 right now... I long for weekends spent out of doors, home cooked meals eaten with good company. I love the fact that my laptop can be stowed away, and I don't have to look at it. I love going whole weekends without the TV and computer.
Hmmmm... there's an idea. I will do the best I can to spend the entire summer's weekends sans TV and computers(other than the occasional blog post and work).
It'll be me...the out of doors, my art, my books, my friends. All the enlightening things in life that don't revolve around technology.
