~ Contemplation ~<\/p>\n
In the coffee shop sits a young lady, alone.<\/p>\n
In one hand is her coffee, in the other a book.<\/p>\n
All around her people are drinking coffee or tea as well.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s different?<\/p>\n
They are all submersed in their technological devices.<\/p>\n
This young lady has immersed herself in imaginative worlds.<\/p>\n
I sit, staring at her.<\/p>\n
This is how the world used to be.<\/p>\n
We take loved ones and friends for granted these days.<\/p>\n
We are more concerned how many likes or comments we have on a post we made.<\/p>\n
Or we worry about what others are posting on their social media sites.<\/p>\n
Instead, we should be speaking more with one another, connecting like the old days.<\/p>\n
As I sit here contemplating what I see in front of me,<\/p>\n
The young lady looks at me from her book and smiles.<\/p>\n
I look back at her and give her a nod of approval and admiration.<\/p>\n
These moments make people second guess what they are accomplishing in life.<\/p>\n
We should all take a moment and reflect on what, and who, is important.<\/p>\n
