Overload

Media reports full of information about

health care, 

and the strength to recover, 

war and political struggles
and the courage to question.

The challenge remains

to beware

to be afraid

to know that danger is close

to mistrust others

and now

to mistrust ourselves

And yet

To trust the science because we are told to

To trust the science because of science’s track record

To believe in the science because the science is always right

To trust our governments

Technology

with sensors everywhere

globally and at home

In our phones

In our homes

In our vehicles

and now 

In the mattresses of our beds

Will all of this be inspiration for us

to regain belief in our internal sensors

of emotion

of belief

of intelligence

of wisdom?

Birth, life and death

Scientific

Politicized

Automated

Medicalized

“Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?

Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?”
