Thank you for this thoughtful post on attention, giving me much to contemplate about where I place my focus and how I relate to the wide web. (And some books to add to my reading stack.)

Sending caring thoughts to you as you head into surgery. May your recovery and healing time go as smoothly and gently as it can.

I would say we are wired to a culture that decides our fate. For one, social media throws feeds we don't like in our faces and forces us to engage.

I chose to live differently. I keep a strict rule on my social life, both online and offline. Discipline is how you break social construct.

Hello Jessey. Thank you for the gift of your attention to this post. I also lament that social media, with its algorithms, curates what I pay attention to.

I am curious about how you bring a sense of interconnectedness into how you do life, on and offline. How do you experience a sense of wovenness?

No need to reply, I am just curious and eager for conversation on this post.
