I just realized that I have very unconsciously been on a news fast for several weeks, perhaps a few months now. I will occassionally tune into NPR, but I am no longer seeking out news on the internet, in magazines or in any other way. This makes me feel out of touch in many ways. I tend to seek and want to listen to international news a lot. On the other hand, I have found myself more present to my existence, more aware of my being and less worried. I don't know if the two are connected. I am craving news again so I will be tuning back into my regular reading right away. It will be interesting to see if my state of mind changes in any way.
