I ask myself if I know what I need to do today . . . just today. Inevitably, the answer is always "yes". What else do I need to know? - Marie (Coming Out of the Trees) Hi, Evan -

When I get into that place of plodding with no idea of what is coming in the far future or the near future . . . I ask myself if I know what I need to do today . . . just today. Inevitably, the answer is always “yes”. What else do I need to know?

During hurricane we would enjoy the company of family by story telling, or singing, reading to each other and after hurricane had pased, enjoying nature outside, and playing with whatever was left by the storm. I guess we developed some creativity and a sense of compasstion by helping each other.

Would you like to say what you discovered and how you spent the time? Thanks for your comment. It does sound like an exercise in patience.

I still remember the hurricane season in my small island in the Caribbean; no electricity, no running hour, no cell phone or even regular phone, no computer or by that time "atari games" for an entire week. Great excersise to develop patient and to appreciate what is really important in life. :) I think I have been blessed with that virtue of patient.

We live in strange times,chaos haunts and hunts us whether you live in China as I do or elsewhere.

This toxic need for information and dependence on technology has created a monster within us.

Last weeks heading in a local paper “can you live without your phone for a day”?demonstrates this nicely , rational behaviour tells us that to be dominated by a tool however good is simply silly,however much it promises you even the after live and having sex with different people each week.

But that my friend is what has happened,the mere thought of “no phone or no computer” drive sane people into irrational behaviour,equat that with a technical delay at an airport,if the plane is delayed or a has a problem,who do they shout at,obviously its the fault of the check in person who should immediatly change into a pilot and fly the plane to whereever because the passenger has a business appointment.

Its at time like these that I despair,when my work as a health profesional puts me at risk of becomming a prize fighter.

Why have we become so depended on technology and the medai created need to feel bereft if its taken away or does not work?

I guess it conditioning, we expect and want; because we feel we are entitled(that big word) we are and we can have and must have.

Who says?

Well television and the papers etc., they say you can, you must and you are entitled.

Is this true?

Who cares, I wnat it now.

So there you are the cause for so much discontent.

How easy is it to fix this unsumountable problem.?

Swith off your phone for the day,do not listen to the radio,avoid the TV and just sit down and think of the good things in life,those which are free and we are certainly entitled to.
