Life through Glass

We spend so much time in our life looking through glass. Looking out the window of our home or car. Looking at a computer screen. Looking at our phones. I know, because I live my life in a prison of glass screens. Everything I love is behind glass. It would be impossible at this point let alone expensive to create what I hear in my head with hardware and analog equipment. So i’m stuck on the computer. And technology certainly is wonderful, I would never go back even a decade. I love iPad’s and Spotify and all those things.

But sometimes, sometimes don’t you want to just smash the glass and breath the fresh air. Or maybe go walk around somewhere in the deep south and listen to the street musicians playing acoustic instruments. Feel the soul of the world around you. Take it all in and taste life. If you don’t get out and wander a bit you will  never get new ideas. I have to remind myself everyday I am less of a prisoner then I pretend to be.
