We ache to know our soul’s calm, but also isn’t there something on Netflix? Wait, let me check my texts first. Before we know it, we are swimming around in a sea of notifications and updates without direction. We are living in an attention economy where the first casualty is peace, peace, peace. So let’s bless our distracted selves. If we can’t bring ourselves to desire stillness, maybe we can talk ourselves into wanting a little less noise.
