I missed reading this last month (irony) and so glad it was linked in your post this week. Its message lands in a way that penetrates deeply, and, I hope, remains a daily practice after your reminder (at this moment I look out a window over a wide river, sitting at the kitchen table in a home I am housesitting; the clouds boil from the horizon looking not unlike snow covered mountains...but changing even as I watch, from dark blue slate to cotton candy blue). Your flower arrangement is elegant and beautiful - a lovely way to slow down and practice paying attention to attention. Thanks for this.
We were thinking and writing in sync this month! I just published my newsletter on feeling alert and like a child in Japan and how that is my favorite part of traveling: paying attention to the subtle differences.
Thanks, Claire, I'll check out your newsletter. I love the way travel so naturally "alerts" us, as you said. The challenge is to make each day its own trip.

Thank you for sharing this moment of attention/devotion with me. Your observation is so beautiful. One moment of noticing is worth so much.
"I searched out firsts." One of the keys to making time feel "longer" and thus more memorable.
