We are super-connected
Yet, so disconnected at times
We have the technology
But to transform the world we live in
We need to add heart!
Because when hearts connect
There’s nothing that can’t be done!
We have the World Wide Web and the Cloud
We are connected to each other 24 hours a day
But the connection that we need
To change the world we live in
Is super low-tech!
This connection can be made with a smile
A shared moment of joy
It can be made with an eye contact
That acknowledges the other person
This connection is made by feeling the pain of someone who is in distress
Someone who needs a helping hand
And listening ear
For this connection, all one needs is love
A sense of belonging to the whole and
Being responsible for the welfare of all
So, as we get better connected technologically each day
Lets not forget this most important connection
