What Am I Missing?....

As I look around my little office space, the day after day focal point has truly become my trusty computer; a center for communication to the outside world; a way to cross over from my quiet world with sounds of familiar mechanical pecking as volumes of paper swoosh through all the printers stationed here and there throughout this department. The whrrrr of the hard drive and an occasional phone ringing besides my own; a page turned, occasional gum smacking, a cough here, a sneeze there... then silence. My computer is a friend of sorts; connecting me to other friends and family members; drawing us closer when staying far apart is the tempting thing to do while unconsciously submitting to the raging currents of busy lifestyles. The beauty around us can so easily become nothing but a multi-colored blur. I often wonder... what am I missing while I sit; my trusty computer and me.
