“This is the first, wildest, and wisest thing I know, that the soul exists, and that it is built entirely out of attention.” ~ Mary Oliver
Maybe I am reading this wrong. And even as I sit here and read it again I suppose now that she could be referring to ones attention to their own soul. But when read that it’s built out of attention of others, I disagree completely. Maybe a better way to say it would have been “entirely out of ones own attention.”
Thoughts?
Maybe I am reading it wrong too but I got the same impression. And I agree with you.
