Goodbye Phone, Hello World

An appropriate quick read on Thanksgiving week. It hit me hard, although probably not as the author intended: it reminded me of how damn fortunate I am.

I am thankful for trails and dirt and wilderness all around me. For clear night skies and the opportunity to stargaze. For windows through which to watch birds and clouds during the day. For flesh-and-blood humans whom I love and who love me. For my regular yoga and meditation practices. For good sleep. For never having had children. For books. Even—heretically—for my phone.

I am especially thankful for not needing this book, nor even in fact knowing anyone who does.
