Personal Windows

I, like many of you watch way too much TV. Too much politics, war, crime, local, national international.

I turn away from it only to move my eyes to another window, like a laptop, an iPad, a smartphone window. There I find Facebook, twitter, Instagram etc. I peruse Friends, tweets, photos. But it's seems to be a "mindless" pursuit. I suspect you do too. But we don’t need to. We only need to pursue more mindful windows.

There were “windowless” times before we got to this electronic era, times when people used windows that evolution gifted us with, our personal windows.
