The story of flower communion we heard this morning is a case in point. Summarized as, “a concoction of distraction, aimlessness, and what some folks have termed ‘Zoom fatigue’, languishing has led, for some, to, ‘the dulling of delight or the dwindling of drive’ and a slow slip into solitude.” And while in the Times article, languishing is attributed to the, “emotional long-haul of the pandemic”, it seems to me something to which we humans are susceptible regardless of the state of public health. In the article “languishing” is used to describe what has been called the “dominant emotion” of 2021 so far. The question itself and that word, languishing, was a reference to a New York Times article published a few days earlier, that incidentally, I had read. The question caught my attention so I opened the email to find a short piece titled with the same question awaiting me. That was the subject of an email I received recently from a Buddhist blog I apparently subscribed to some time ago, although I don’t remember doing so.
