The real voyage of discovery consists not of seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.*
Marcel Proust
The more control you have over your attention, the more control you have over your future … What you trade your attention for is what your life becomes.**
James Clear

seeing differently what is right in front of us –
We can have slow eyes, compassionate eyes, kind eyes, curious eyes – perhaps
the list grows as we see more – but
here are three to begin with: what would it mean to see more
humbly
gratefully
faithfully?^
