Twenty-years ago.
A blink of the eye, huh?
Well, then again, the eye doesn’t blink quite the same way as it did some twenty-years ago. . . .
The eye rarely meets another eye, at least for any real significant moments or for any length of time.
It’s ALL Changed, hasn’t it?
Don’t believe me?
WHAT ARE YOU READING RIGHT NOW AT THIS VERY MOMENT?
ON WHAT DEVICE ARE YOU ACTUALLY READING?
Hmmmmm…Living Proof, huh?
Just like the video, of which you might not have even watched the entire clip, makes a powerful point:
WE ARE JUST TOO FOCUSED ON WHAT NEEDS NOT OUR ENTIRE FOCUS–Almost every waking moment.
Can you do it?
Can you go a morning? An afternoon? Can you go out and sit through an entire meal, desert, a whole cup of coffee without texting or emailing or checking Face Book, Tweeting?
Again, what are you doing right now at this very moment–R E A D I N G–from what, where, how?
Here’s the deal…this is an emptied can of Shaving Cream that’s never going to be put back into the can from which it’s been drained.
So? Is that it? Are we just to deal with it? What can change, alter, make the best of it?

Compassionate listening. Compassionate presence makes you LOOK UP more quickly, more sincerely, most assuredly than your next Text.

It’s the Universal, most full proof, least evasive, most effective, non-pharmaicutical, non-addictive, all inclusive way of COMMUNICATING still known…just not always or in ALL WAYS practiced and even more sadly EXPERIENCED; that’s the Bad News.
GOOD NEWS?
YOU. . .you have the power to Change THAT!
How?
LOOK UP!
Pssssst: Don’t be surprised if you meet the eyes of SOMEONE who’s done the exact same thing as you have at the exact same time.
REPEAT OFTEN!
