Digital life is a tool like anything. It needs to be purposely channeled towards the good, and can enhance the good, if we make it do so. People (I’m guilty of this) use it to distract from life instead of work for it.
Alfred North Whitehead’s process philosophy, suggest that mentality has efficacy in the same way that what we consider physical has efficacy. For whitehead, everything was reduced to what he called actual occasions which have a subjective phase that is responding to the causality from the past and then has a mental stage where it decides whether it’s going to be like it was before or going to make a change.
I have never thought of the hand and fingers as distinct entities. But what if you’re using the smartphone to converse with a real person and your heart beats faster? Isn’t that a bodily response?

Loved this Sherry!! Trying to be deliberate about living a more embodied life. Also, the cover image you created for this piece is incredible haha!
it’s me and Canva against the world
hahaha sameee
Such a good reminder!
Life as love is my jam. Loved this provocation. Though I feel action and presence are often opposites. Embodiment, for me, comes with stillness.
