The contrast at the Six-to-Sunset concert last night was stunning. The littlest ones were in the moment; joyfully dancing, twirling, and chasing each other to the music. Meanwhile, many of their parents, big brothers and sisters were totally checked out from their surroundings; numbly bumping into one another, as they stared at their mobile phones, searching for imaginary creatures.
It was like a scene from some dystopian science-fiction movie – I can’t imagine Ray Bradbury coming up with a bleaker contrast.
