Food For Thought: Communication

“Communication can heal.”

Henry James Borys-The Sacred FireThink about that… While we’re all so busy online communicating on social media websites, we forget, perhaps the value and the sheer wonder of sitting with a friend, talking, communicating, sharing joy and sorrow in the same physical space, together. I too am guilty of this…

I get too busy sometimes to remember to reach out to my friends and family. I get caught up in my work and think I’ll reach out later. Time goes by and communication is limited often to the connection online. There are no familiar voices to hear, there are no smiles to see. These physical aspects of communication separate online communication from in-person communication. What is the cure? How can we change this?

The best cure of course is to reach out to friends and family, make time for the special people in your life beyond the connection of the internet. That’s what fuels the “Sacred Fire” in us all.
