The Will To Pay Attention: Shards Of Reality
Shards of reality assail my sanctuary
But I won't give in to the things that scare me
I'm not so arrogant that I believe I can shape existence; but the thoughts I put here are snapshots of an instant
and if I can capture this instant; make it part of my labeled lexicon
Maybe I can become stable
maybe I can influence the odds
Light up the nodes
know what I don't yet know
If I pay close attention
who is to say what's in store?
