too often too distracted

Whispering Dreams (217.084,218.443,30.9674)

I often wonder if I should have been born in another time. My senses are what one might say "unnaturally keen", and ours is an era of distraction, it's a punishing drum beat of constant input. A cacophony which follows us into our homes and into our beds. It seeps into our "souls", for want of a better word. So in my less productive moments I'm given to wonder, if I'd just been born when it was a little quieter out there might I have been more focused? A more fully realized person... I'd want some of the wonders of modernity, of course, just before everything got amplified.
