When technology fails
All we can do is reboot
Reset
Then test
Again
And wait
Wait
Wait ...
... until
the buffering
stops
and it all starts
working again.
Starting Over
The computer freezes. A wheel begins spinning. Click. Wait. Nothing. Restart. Wait some more. Hope for the best.
It occurred to me that life can feel the same way. We hit a snag, try a fix, and then find ourselves in that awkward stretch where all we can do is wait and see if it worked. Or we decide it didn’t work and start over somewhere else.
No fancy poetry here. Just a familiar frustration.
