Instruments of Connection, Communication, and Healng

Elizabeth Bonker has nonspeaking autism that severely affects her communication abilities. But when, as valedictorian, she gave the commencement speech at Rollins College, she was heard loud and clear. Elizabeth typed and then delivered her remarks using a text-to-speech program. "That program unlocked my mind from its silent cage.”
“Technology can make us more productive, healthier, and more secure. It can help people out of poverty, discover talent, and make it possible for us to fix so much. But we will get the best of technology only if we don't let it distract us from making human connections, addressing human longings, and inspiring human energy.”
​– Thomas Friedman, Thank You for Being Late
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I give thanks for the many tools that help me live a Spirit-intended life. I’m grateful for the high-tech gismos that serve as instruments for connection, communication, and healing. Today, I see the good in all the mechanical mysteries of my life. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
