I’m going to turn off my computer for the next twenty-four hours and take myself on a fishing trip. Not to fish for fish, of course — such a hobby is only peaceful for the one fishing; the poor fish are scared, hurt, and fighting for their life — but to fish for life. See what happens when I am disconnected from my usual online pursuits. Just take off for a day. See what I can see. Feel what I can feel.
If you want to contact me, leave a comment and I’ll get back to you tomorrow. Or whenever.

I think that’s a great idea. I’ve done that myself. It’s a hard thing, at times to separate oneself from this electronic teat. I think you will benefit from this disconnect. I know I have and I hope to do it again.
hugs,
