Day Seven: a quote you disagree with

 

“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?

  1. Maybe I am reading it wrong too but I got the same impression. And I agree with you.
