Since Wednesday, I haven’t checked for any messages on my phone or went onto Facebook. Do you know how good that feels? It’s been nice to disconnect in those ways and to release myself from them for a while. It is one of the things I learned in Kenya, how nice it can be to disconnect from technology. (And here I am writing on my blog.)
I admit to you, I am writing this during the business meeting. Come to think of it, I did this in Kenya too. Yesterday was my full day. I spoke in the afternoon plenary on the young adult panel, then led a workshop on “Spirit Rising: Young Quaker Voices”, followed by the author’s night after dinner where five of us read from recently published books. It’s nice to have a more relaxed day today before heading out tomorrow.
