By technology we are affected
This moment may not come again
Yet we would even text a friend
At lunch or dinner there’s no excuse
You say it’s important that’s the ruse
You’re simply not fully in the moment
To savor every morsel and delicious
intent
A walk in the woods is a restorative
jaunt
Talk on the phone and the moment won’t
Add to the pleasure and mild disconnect
From the sound of the birds joyously sent
You don’t understand that unhappy feeling
Your patience is sapped and your senses
reeling
Multitasking has its place and time
Doing it always is a pitiful crime
Promise yourself to savor each bite
It may be hard, do it with all your might
Gently bring yourself back to the moment
Share conversation, connect with life
Don’t let thoughts wander away to the
phone
Alas you may find yourself quite alone.
