Word has it that modernity has cramped our survival skills. Let this week’s challenge image inspire your muse … maybe to wonder what we gain and what we lose in a 24/7, interconnected world.

I’ll start with a story …

***************************************************

Even back to early crèche when I gazed up at the bluest of skies and whitest of clouds through the domes, I dreamed of outside.

Our docent was displeased, “Are your rights not fulfilled? Food for the asking, a warm bed, an education. Does not Grid wait upon your every question?”

But some things one didn’t ask, even in one’s sleep.

Joey, one bed over, soft words asking “How are clothes made?” “Could I learn to make food?”

“Where did I come from?”

Come morning, he was gone.

I’ve run away from the dome and wish I had those answers.

Now, it’s your turn.
