Someone shows up, unscheduled. No special occasion, no official business to transact, no agenda…just one person being a witness to another’s being, in the ordinary. One soul intentionally deciding to prioritise another, without prompting. To sit side by side in whatever is going on, unhurried, unperturbed, whether smile or pain, hands ready to work in whatever capacity necessary. A desire of the heart that cannot be manufactured, arising to meet its complement, like a jug being poured into a glass, in beautiful synergy.

I’ve always been suspicious of politicians (not without reason) and politics itself as an institution. We can’t live without politics. Our very existence is political – how we relate to one another and the world, how we fulfill our needs (and wants), our differing opinions and perspectives. Like many institutional problems, politics became (or has become) a law unto itself, something that serves its own agenda instead of (or alongside) what it actually exists to do. Isn’t it maddening the amount of money, time and energy that goes into ‘campaigning’ when the very people they’re supposedly campaigning to lead are in dire and urgent need?

What technology would you be better off without, why?
Instead of merely speaking in hypotheticals (i.e. “I would stop using it”), I want to see someone put their money where their mouth is and actually leave whatever piece of technology it is behind. It’s no use just talking about being better off without it, in my opinion, just like it’s no use merely talking about going to the market when our stomachs are rumbling, (or to the hospital when we’re sick). You’d say we were crazy for not actually going to the market for food, or to the hospital for a cure (by the same token, liking a post such as this one without the message of the post transforming anyone internally falls into the same category).
So, let’s do this, and not just talk about it. I’m waiting expectantly 😏
