This is a personal set of thoughts about the slightly hollow sense of connection I find through social media: can you relate to that? It’s like looking for your keys under the streetlight even though you know you dropped them in the garden. Like every good distraction or avoidance strategy, getting enough of something that doesn’t work is impossible. And yet, it hints at the potential for just enough to continue trying.
The video doesn’t come up with any suggestions; it’s more of a call for comments and wonderment about how to scratch the craving for connection that social media can’t satisfy. At this time in my travels, I’d been off alone for quite a while, which undoubtedly permeated my thoughts, but I thought it worth honouring. I hope you enjoy it.
It was taken in the Devil’s Garden down a bumpy road near Escalante, Utah. The same day I met a mountain lion;)
