Even though I have a phone for functions - like Uber - once I am where I'm going, I just sit. Watch a little, think a little, mostly meditate. For 7-1/2 years, I totally refused to have a phone, and I certainly don't answer it, and rarely text. Yes, I am a dinosaur. But a rather happier one for it, if I do say. On the other hand, I do all my writing on a computer. Back in the day, I wore the erasers out on my pencils, because I simply cannot do the "stream of consciousness" thing. When I do, the writing is so bad, I might as well start over anyway. Anyway, I loved reading this piece, as I actually felt it really calming. Thanks!
