We had a black out last night, at first there was a sense of crisis. I am like, what is going on. No Internet. What to do. I must admit I am a blogger (an awkward one, as I consistently miss-leave out words when I write.). Still I am kind of obsessed with the whole thing.
I used my cell phone for my light source and I found some candles. As I was lighting them, I felt that this is the way we are suppose to live in natural light. Candle light sparks my creativity. Maybe this is instinctive. The light of fire, not artificial light spawns creativity. I love the ambiance, the aesthetic, and the mood of candles that stirs up many memories. This experience also stirred up my strange relationship with technology and how it consumes me. The lights went out so I could sit in the dark and remember my connection to the source. Strange how we use same words like power, source, light for technology, creativity, and spirituality.
When the power came back on I decided to turn them off all the lights and revel in my quite evening without technology.I enjoyed not having electricity the web was broken for a bit.
Balance is the key.
