“My life has always been filled with such anachronistic examples. I actively seek out ways to integrate both “high tech” and “high touch” parts of my life. This is one of many reasons I am drawn to gardening. After hours of facing the computer screen nothing brings you back to reality like a few minutes in the garden. The next time you see someone who has had their head stuck inside their computer too long, take them out to your garden and recharge their batteries.“
