Agreed.

But let’s not live through posts, texts, and emails. Let’s remember the value of face-to-face.

Let’s meet intentionally. Let’s gather with purpose. Let’s connect in the way nature designed.

Our shortcuts and shorthand are the wheels of culture.

But synchronous meeting — in time and space — feeds us in ways that the shortcuts do not.
