Set aside some time each week to be disconnected from the world. Turn
off the phones (all of them), put the computer in hibernate and turn off
the monitor, no TV’s, radios, mp3 players, iPods or any other sound
producing device left on. Turn around or cover any clock that may catch
your eye. Now read a book, a real one, no electronic readers, play a
game (nothing electronic), write (with pen and paper) or just sit
quietly experiencing the peace of the moment. Depending on your
circumstances, small children, roommates, uncooperative spouses etc you
may only be able to do this for a short period, but make the effort. It
is an exercise in active electronic inactivity, disconnected from the electronic
world, a demonstration in willingness to walk the road less traveled, a
simple affirmation in action of our true connection to the miraculous.
