Let your skin feel the cold of the ground, let the breeze shower your face...

Smartphones, tablets, iPhones, Ipads... YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram... We have never been more connected. Yet, we have never been more distant. Addicted to the Internet, indifferent to the world.

You walk in a hurry to get to the meeting. You are making an important phone call, or yet, staring at the display, smiling faintly at a post you just came across. And the whole time, completely unaware of what you are missing while burying your face in your smart device...

Choose your addictions wisely... Disconnect in order to connect... Choose nature... Stop! Look around. Don't just look at that tree. See it. I mean, really see it. Feel its cracked bark and listen to the sound of its leaves. Smell the grass, breathe in the scent of the flowers. Talk to the creek. Go to the ocean. Lie down. Let your skin feel the cold of the ground, let the breeze shower your face...
