All you see is people with their heads down looking at their phone. Human contact as it was is lost, I much prefer the days before the modern way of communicating, Emilia : )

Hello, I rather create from my mind that repeat what I read Rico. It makes for authentic poetry from the heart. Thank you for reading, have a wonderful day.

I agree with you. But none is possible though I rarely indulge in googling and the like. ~~

I think instead of becoming more intelligent beings we are beginning to forget what we learned long ago. For example how to talk to a friend without connecting to anything else but their hearts. Thank you for always being there, dear friend. Stay healthy and keep sharing your poems. they matter to me

I yearn for company especially the girlfriends! We can chat for hours! Nice indeed!

Hello Kim, yes the old days were much better, We didn't discuss heart matters any other way then over a nice cup of tea. I miss that too. Hope all is well with you, take care, nice to stay connected.

Thank you dear Lindsay, its always nice to see a face hear a voice, and connect with the heart. Computers have their place, but we should not let them take over our lives, Thanks for reading

Appreciate the sentiments...after a while it all becomes too much of a distraction.

I agree with you Vijay, it takes us away from our families and true life living
