I got a new watch yesterday, my first in years. I am a clumsy oaf, and my tendency to shear the watch from the band frustrated me so much that i gave up on wristwatches. Plus, i'm rarely far from a pda or phone, lessening their perceived value.
i found their value when i started hiking on my lunch hour, &
needed to be back at a certain time. Now, i've got a watch so cheap, its maker doesn't have a website! The thing's almost disposable. Am i not a rich man?
The waves were inconsistent but in the best way. They made space for me to
take some photos. And I joined the coffee Zoom of a friend. Yes, I joined a
Zoom call from the water. It was nice. Camaraderie is worth seeking out,
even digitally, even in the water. Loneliness, disaffection, dislocation,
disconnection are everywhere. And we need each other—human connection—more
than ever. It’s a time of great misery and injustice and there’s much work
to do. Let’s get to it, in kindness.
