On the Aesthetic of Attention

Attention is another of those fundamental aesthetics, a primordial way of feeling. To appreciate this you can shift focus to your experience as a whole and reflect on everything you're feeling. In any moment where you feel present, there are things that feel like they are in your attention, making them feel distinct from those that aren't. The things in your experience are always either within or beyond your attention and they change as you shift focus between them. Attention is a basic sense of regard for the moment you're living, a sense that is deployed over one or more of its aspects or the moment as a whole.
