In the process of moving and remodeling I’ve been living without a TV for the past week or so, and it’s been grand. I’ve spent time with both sides of the family, as respite to the carrying and building and driving, and it’s been real time with those in my tribe.

We normalize so quickly to new circumstances, and when life becomes chaotic, family time is immediately treasured. Screens are ubiquitous in everyday life, yet when meaningful business grips your time, they lose allure and meaning.

We are animals whose biology has flourished upon trust, collaboration, and social interaction. I guess it can sometimes take an upheaval to remove yourself from screen addiction and recognize our natural strength.
