Over the last little while, I’ve been reflecting on the importance of connecting as human beings—as brothers and sisters sharing a mortal experience.

How often do we forget to truly connect and to really BE with the people we are around? It’s so easy to get so distracted by trivial matters or to get sucked into social media notifications and the endless doom scroll. Why do we so often just open our phones and just submit ourselves to whatever the world wants to throw at us?

We can be intentional. We can be present. We can let go of the fear of missing out. We can have faith in a higher power. Faith in ourselves. Faith in the goodness of the universe. And faith in people. Let’s do it!
