Cyber Care

Sometimes I am tempted to check my cell phone simply to see who is thinking about me.  They may be responding to something I said, or initiating some thoughts with me.  I am checking for connections in cyberspace.  Prayer is connecting without a cell phone.  God is always connected with me and may want to initiate some conversation if I would but stop to listen.  Meditation is my time of listening.  When I carry my cell phone into my mediation space, I know that I am slipping off the spiritual path.  Prayer deals with the fear of being alone in the world.
