micro view
I realized tonight that I have not watched or listened to a newscast since about the middle of September.
I catch snippets now and then (you can’t live in the world without hearing snippets, I think) but haven’t listened intently or with purpose.
I attribute this to CPE and the emotional fatigue it has caused me. I just can’t take one more bad thing most days, and the news is only filled with “bad” things…and tripe.
It feels funny to have my world be so small. Only work, family and the new “dating” thing. No causes, no events, not “big ideas.” Public work looms large in the form of choirs and chaplaincy. Personal life is still such a small number of hours of my days.
I wonder how long after CPE ends before my view expands out again. Or if I will find ways to spend more hours on personal life and leave the public life for a little longer?

I haven’t watched the news either. In fact, I am more apt to watch the shows that I love and then go to bed when the news comes on. Too much work makes me tired. But I know you know the feeling.
