Sole or Soul*

I might be able to sit at a table with other people, all of us on our cells while listening to one another. I notice in these situations that no one is talking about anything of substance.  We are reporting information or opinions about various situations such as politics, or who was with whom.  What is worse, is that gossip is a sure way to get us to stop looking at our phones.  In short, we are not so much connecting with one another, as accumulating information.  Whatever is on the screen is at least as important as the person across from me.  Good grief!  This is “sole” seeking.  I need “soul” seeking.  At times, the cell can become another form of isolation for me.  Oops!  Gotta go.  Cell is buzzing.
