Start in the middle. Go from there.
See the pattern. Follow the thread.
Look at this. Stay a moment. And then another. And look, now we’ve been here a little while. Each moment builds on the last. Each action prescribes the next. Do something. Do it again.
We’ve got infinite bandwidth; the scroll is never-ending. Swipe, zoom, pinch. My ears are ringing. Are yours?
My attention is all I have. It’s finite and it comes with an expiration date.
Hold it. Pay it. Capture it. Draw it. Get it. Grab it. Ask for it. Focus it.
Start in the middle. You have to start somewhere.
It’s like a possession, an obsession, a procession. When turned around, it becomes a kind of protection. It is a process. I am possessed. I mean I feel processed. I mean I am a process. What was I saying. What? Is what I was saying.
Your attention is all you have. It’s finite and comes with an expiration date.
Grab a thread and pull. Grab a corner if you can. Hold on. It’s all you can do isn’t it. Hold on. Just for a sec. And then another. That’s it.
It’s something, isn’t it. It really is.
