Busy

‘Whirlwind’ by Philip Dodson

Busy, that’s what we are encouraged to be.

Who says being busy is better?

Simply doing a lot, is that better?

Never pausing to take stock, is that better?

Maybe doing very little is best?

Why are we encouraged to always be busy?

Perhaps busy means we are too busy to question why we are busy and what we are busy with.

Are friends electric?


This was a Gary Numan song with Tubeway Army for those of us around in 1979, like me, you may remember it. 

It’s more apt today in our digital world perhaps it could be modified to ‘are friends digital?’

Friends will never be anything other than real human beings who we could choose to treasure versus artificial connections on the net.
