connection

To be well, we need to connect. To lift our gaze from the pavement and from our phones, and our attention, from our hurried mind of to-do lists. To connect, we need to make space and time to be present to those around us. A cup of coffee with a friend. A conversation at the letter box. A smile at a fellow walker on the track. In connecting with those who we meet in each day, we not only spread positivity to others, we also fulfill in ourselves that human need for connection.
