When I was little, I used to go on the amusement rides to get my head to spin. Now, it spins all by itself and I want it to stop!
I believe many of us are just settling into all the information overload that is upon us and that we are not used to experiencing in such bountiful amounts.
I remember when my parents would go 'tired' over the computer games - ping pong/space invaders/hangman - when they first came out. The voice answering machine and microwave were resisted by many!
Now, there's choices of cell phones/carriers/ipads/kindles/blackberrys/face requests/etc. We can reach people around the world immediately. We can question and get an answer to anything in a matter of seconds. We can carry thousands of songs, books and videos with us wherever we go.
This is a lot to 'rest' in. There is wonderful and amazing opportunities and conveniences. It all takes us out of ourselves. It's perfectly wonderful to be here and enjoy it all. I do believe balancing it all is still needed or most helpful in successful living.
My hope is to be able to go back to amusement rides for the head spin and to have 'head clarity' for all else.
May your 'head' be where you want it to be. Ha.
