unplugged but not unhinged


Walking the dog is my favorite unplugged activity.  It’s a journey into the wet, windy, serious water coming down this morning.  Doggie’s interest and enthusiasm wane as we struggle along the sidewalk. 

Although we’re not in the country I notice the sounds of wildlife, trees, and running water.  A stream discharges from underneith the road, disappearing madly into a thick stand of trees on its short trip to the lake. 
 
Tomorrow I’ll get back on the bus, surrounded by the plugged-in, the everything app world of modern finger touching smart phones.  I can only think about smeared boogers on the glass.
