Contemporary parlance

Our common way of speaking is limited due to lack of social modality ..we do not move around as much

But not just in geographical sense. . . 

limited by the groups we are part of. . .

Further limited due to lots of issues in the way we forming new groups..ways of thinking  . . 

Confluence  . way we come together ..has changed and we don’t have the fluidity as previous, ... that means the choices we need to make are more limited.

There is a sense of medieval in-betweeness as we stumble looking for Cathedral’s to sit and ponder . . . 

The where are we?

What are we doing here?

they cannot find the Cathedral’s to help . . .

So we do not ponder.
