RAKE:
A garden tool once used
for drawing together cut grass
or fallen leaves or smoothing soil.
Now considered an antique
and no longer of practical value.
LEAF BLOWER:
A garden tool
that propels cut grass, leaves
or other debris.
It has replaced the rake
and has high practical value.
ADULT HUMAN BEING

whose speech
and superior mental developent

WONDER:
Desire or be curious to know something.
I wonder……
Is it true?
Am I really verbally communicating less,
expressing my feelings less,
using my brain less?
I wonder…..
will I so soon be considered
an antique……like the rake
and be replaced
by an updated smart phone
or some other new technology
and no longer have value?
I wonder……

But then there are those who relish the feel of the rake, and use it frequently. We like the effort and the sweat that comes from using it. No, we will not be replaced. Someone will always cherish what it is we are.

Thanks for your response. And I totally agree with you. But I love posing the questions. I still have my rake…..and use it.

Oh I loved the questions (hope I didn’t imply otherwise). They made me think and consider. I appreciate reading something that makes me pause and wonder….. I am not a supporter of change for change or “progress” is always better.
