You noticed that you had stopped noticing. That is a vivid symbol of the disconnect we have all experienced. I feel like this is an invitation to wake up and reconnect.

I think so too. And it's also an opportunity to re-imagine how we can reconnect. A chance to reflect what's right for us, right now.

I find myself less drawn to 'big cities', where in the past I would be drawn to them. I would fine the busiest side of town, find a bench and watch people and take some photos sometimes. I don't think that's where I would place myself now. But nevertheless (a ha!), I hear the invitation to be 'out here' and be part of life once again.
