What a beautiful and thoughtful article, Prajna. I read it a few times to let it all sink in. Your article looks at this through several different lenses, and I really appreciate the varied viewpoints. Only last night, I was remembering, by chance, a specific recent missed opportunity for connection because of a false sense of urgency to check my phone. Thankfully that gut punch reminded me and I caught myself from missing it again (and I was so, so glad I chose connection!)

Hello Rose

Thank you so much for your kind words

It means a ton to me that this article touched you.

Yes, true connection makes a world of difference. We have reminders around us all the time don’t we?

Thank you again

Love this article!

At the end of each email I end, "Consider yourself hugged," and when I close a Zoom session, I ask everyone to hug themselves. "Then, at this moment, the arms around you are mine. I'm hugging you to my breast because I love you just the way that you are."

Pragna, hugs are priceless and soul-soothing.

Beautiful. I don't know who said this me or you "Then, at this moment, the arms around you are mine. I'm hugging you to my breast because I love you just the way that you are."

Either way, I am loving—hugging you back.

Thank you! Great practice I am sure people appreciate that.
