The digital age..

I spend most of my days in front of a screen,

working from home, no fresh air to breathe....

I sometimes wonder what is going on outside,

as the sun breaks through my office blinds.

"Tech" can become like an anchor and chain

as I'm tied to the desk with emails again;

the expectations of responding, with meetings

and calls - no time for a coffee or to go for a walk.

And yet I am speaking to those far and wide,

Australia, India and London at times.

Isn't it amazing to think that we all

can be connected in seconds on a video or call.

As I think of those who live alone in their homes,

what a blessing "Tech" has become, you are

no longer alone...with laptops and smartphones,

and social media too, friends, family and colleagues

can be seen or spoken to....at a press of a button

that is all that it takes, to connect, catch up

and to smile and engage.

Thank you Dear Lord for the works of your

hands for giving talents to innovate,

create and expand the "Tech" of the future,

whatever it might be.. let it bring people together

in peace and harmony.
