Face-to-face relationships (Chris Hazell)


Our desire for connection is valid and worth honoring, but the best way to do this may be limiting time spent pursuing digital connections in order to create space for face-to-face relationships.  There is something mysteriously sacramental about spending time with someone through in-person conversation devoid of expectation or distraction.   When we open ourselves up to relationships with others through our presence – and nothing else – we welcome a level of vulnerability, which can then lead to real and authentic connectedness.
--Chris Hazell, Word on Fire
