I am at Freedom Park and I just finished a few miles on my bike. As I'm sitting here on my phone I realize how disconnected we have become as a society. Disconnected from nature, from each other, from ourselves. We can't go to a park without having a phone in our hands or ear buds in our ears. The birds are singing and the cicadas are humming but it is being drowned out by some (for lack of a better word) asshole blasting his rap music from his car. The air smells clean until I ride through a cloud of another wonderful person's cigarette smoke (which is illegal in Mecklenburg County parks). So now I will quit being a hypocrite, put down my phone, and get back on my back and back to enjoying nature.
