I get it. Phones are fun. It’s easy to believe that constant activity, content, and busyness are good. But we eventually reach the point where our brains feel like mush and we can’t quite see reality clearly. It’s defeating.
My many years of writing has taught me that creativity is the antidote to overconsumption. When I sit still, listen to the birds singing, and observe Orion’s Belt twinkling above me, something changes in me. My heartbeat slows, I breathe more deeply, I decipher the timbre of God’s voice. And a poem can put words to this.
You have a poem inside of you that only you can write, but poems are shy and delicate creatures, and they often refuse to emerge until you give them the time and space to do so. But when the words finally find their way from your brain to the page, something divine occurs. Poems help us make sense of things. Poems help us make sense of ourselves. As my poetry professor Bill Jolliff once said, “Poetry can’t make a living, but it can make a life.”
So. There you have it. I think we can all agree we’ve consumed enough content for a while. If you’re weary and tired from endless screen time, join the club.
Let’s live again, together.
Some of my favorite words:
“I once listened to an Indian on television say that God was in the wind and the water, and I wondered at how beautiful that was because it meant you could swim in Him or have Him brush your face in a breeze.”
-Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz:
something strange and more beautiful and more
full of wonder than your deepest dreams waits for
you—beyond that next turning of the canyon walls.
245. With the same faith as Mary, let us become “weavers of hope” in our world, sharing who we are and what we have, so that the presence of Jesus may grow among us and his Kingdom take shape. In the humble fidelity of daily life, even the era of AI can become a time in which the Holy Spirit brings about the civilization of love in our lives. Indeed, the Lord continues to make all things new and offers every era the possibility of becoming part of salvation history in the light of the Incarnation.
Pope Leo XIV, Magnificata Humanitas
“We must be careful with our lives, for Christ's sake, because it would seem that they are the only lives we are going to have in this puzzling and perilous world, and so they are very precious and what we do with them matters enormously.”
― Frederick Buchner
“Last forever!' Who hasn't prayed that prayer? You were lucky to get it in the first place. The present is a freely given canvas. That it is constantly being ripped apart and washed downstream goes without saying.”
― Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
