Sixteenth Century English poet Sir Thomas Overbury once wrote: "Absence doth sharpen love, presence strengthens it; the one brings fuel, the other blows it till it burns clear." Strong, healthy relationships are built on periods of presence and absence, and as Overbury points out, both are interwoven together. Too much presence can reduce the value of the time present. Too much absence can dilute the relationship-building done during times of presence. But is it still possible to be absent in today's always-connected, always-reachable digital life?
