I am an addict. I have two books going in codex form, and one on my Kindle. But I cannot not check email and visit “my” blog sites, including this one. I cannot not check the news.
It’s a longing, a deep restlessness. Where is the world? Ah! Yes I’m sucking at the world’s teat again and it’s everything I want.
I have to sit where my IPad can charge.
I feel pain when it goes dark, I feel hallelujah when I see the bitten apple again.
WTF has happened to me, the bookworm, lover of the codex?
How can these disembodied minds whom I only “know” through the…what, airwaves? Electric currents? be so real and important to me?
Me, a stranger and a sojourner in this land like my fathers before me?
“Whoever you are….I have always depended on the kindness of strangers”.
ST UnWoked & UnVaxxed! 
Me too! My internet and tv have been off for a couple of days now, and I feel totally lost 😂

Maybe it is simply that in a world gone mad we need to have contact, no matter how tenuous, with the few other like minded souls who haven’t bought into every post-modern depravity?

I DO, I do need that! I’m grateful for it. But still the intensity of my need scares me.

We are grateful for both it (“the intensity of your need”) and you, Hypatia, our national treasure.
