My world has narrowed down to a 16" computer screen.
I am working, writing, staring and waiting for responses to more things than I care to think about.
I am beginning to remind myself of a woman I used to see at a University at which I once taught.
Every time- and I mean every time- I walked passed her office (several times a day) she was sitting there staring at her screen like Narcissus in to a pond.
So I turn on my Pandora radio and try to type to the beat of the music, and I reserve part of my mind to wander the seashore and the mountains and the places I would rather be.
And I crawl back in to my screen and try to make things happen and get things moving and keep my obligations.
Sometimes, there is a "bing" and I know that a friend has stopped by to let me know that there is a human out there somewhere.
Today, I stopped for a moment and sent out some ecards to some other cyber- hostages that I know- faculty, teachers, insurance brokers, accountants.
Next week- I am gone hither and yon and I will be longing for the relative peace of my screen and my streaming music.
But today.....not so much.
