We are being conditioned, a slow burn out from presence and patience. Journey with me… There was once a time of newspapers, magazines, books, and phones hardwired to the land with bulky answering machines where we would excitedly arrive home to press play. There were boxy televisions with scheduled shows and minute long commercials, and VCR’s for recording our favorites that aired just once a week or maybe more. And funny looking car phones, flip phones and pagers with codes we’d use to leave quick notes to one another.
