Most things take time.
Which is easily forgotten-
with cell phones, computers, internet, google, Amazon, transportation-
Life seems to be at our fingertips.
Whatever we want when we want it- click, snap, instant credit-
Such daily life routines, which used to be hours' worth of labor, are readily available without too much notice.
Time ticks on without us having to wind the clock-
Running water- cold, warm, or hot?
Need a light-
Warm home-
Gas, electricity,
Dry hair-
Abundance,
Security…
Buy some bananas, tea, and avocados in a place that doesn't produce such things-
or having strawberries, tomatoes, or zucchini out of season.
A friend said,
"How many hands did it take to bring me this?"
Has time lost meaning?
Are we numb to the reality of having it all when we want it and the lack of equality it brings to many in the world?
