Everyone Is Talking About It

Once upon a time most everyone was happy. There were no potholes in the road and a Starbucks at every corner or the way home from work, and a game or a good movie waited for us on tv after a plentiful dinner with family.

And then....

Everyone was talking about IT.

The whole country and soon the world was a-buzz. I would find the trend amusing, I am sorry to say. if it were not so scarey. It is as if NO ONE knew of IT before. But no matter. If we had ignored it before we could not now. Because everyone was talking about IT and we became very afraid.

Our fear drove us to blame and hate. Everything was wrong.

Only yesterday, before IT, was no one being murdered in our inner cities? Were our children not being neglected in foster homes? Were they not being kidnapped by traffickers?

Could it be that no one was dying prematurely and at increasing and alarming rates from stress related illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, or suicide?

Before IT, we were not concerned that our children did not play outside any more, or that they did not know the history of their own family or town.

But of course, not only had all these issues and conditions existed, but these conditions had been growing globally and at unprecedented rates.

And then IT arrived. And overnight we became an enlightened population to everything that was wrong. We were enraged and wanted change. We were now wishing and hoping and waiting for someone and something, outside ourselves to fix all that is wrong with us, our country and the world.

Everyone is still talking about IT.
…. as if there is nothing else.

What if....?

You didn't mentioned IT for 24 hours? for 48 hours?

How long can you go without talking about IT?

We began talking about A NEW IT!?

A PERSONAL VISION? A NEW PERSPECTIVE?
