It has been a delight to meet Marty and Arlene through my dear friend Victor Geberin and his wife, Alison.
What I walked away with from reading this article is Marty's words:
“Good technology is not technology at all unless it makes people’s lives better,” said Cooper. “They have gone about as far as they can go with the hardware. But hardware doesn’t count. It’s people that count.”
Jennifer Sertl's reminder about not losing our humanity when we believe that technology has the answers. Or Lee Thayer's observations that communication is about our humanity and what we can become and can achieve if we can get our thinking right.
Taking the time to reflect, to be mindful, or to meditate by turning off all the technology and listening, being present and observing.
As Siddartha said: I can wait, I can fast, and I can meditate.
It is with the heart that one see rightly. For what is essential is invisible to the eye. The Little Prince
Hidden in the word Listen is the word: Silent.
