“Attention store” is a great title. Yes: 100% return!

The quotation is from “Daddy” by Sylvia Plath, and I guess it came to my mind here because of the feeling I have having my attention directed so assiduously all the time. I willingly subject myself to it, too. Like by my daughter right now telling me to lock up my mobile device so our movie night can begin!

Discernment is a priceless capacity both in fort building and in what we choose to give our finite attention to. Hence my late comment; hence my ever-dwindling tolerance for gray areas.

“Every woman adores a Fascist”, but my 40-something medieval corpse adores clarity right now.

I do not understand that quote…but thank you for spending some of your finite attention over here at this attention store. I hope the returns on investment were positive.
