"The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself." ~Henry Miller
Attention is the cognitive process wich allows you, in this very moment, to concentrate on each of the words you are reading.
I find it is a fascinating subject to think of. Both ephemeral and, when focused correctly, such a powerful changing force.
"Everyone knows what attention is. It is the taking possession by the mind in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought...It implies withdrawal from some things in order to deal effectively with others."(William James, Principles of Psychology, 1890)
Numbers Stations
Also, Atención, is the given name of one of the mysterious Numbers Stations wich broadcast an unknown sequence of numbers with no found purpuse other than the attributed Spies stories that, for about 30 years, have resulted from conjecture.
You can listen to one of Atención broadcasts, thanks to the lucky WIL WHEATON, who got to record one of those very rare transmitions and made it available via his podcast blog.
Luckly I WILL get some more of your attention directed to my photographs

i adore max! havent had the pleasure to meet him - but - samuel butler once said "every man's work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself". max's photostream is sensitive, poetic, emotive, thoughtful, HUMAN. max's commentary is equally inspiring - it evokes me to discover the subtle the beautiful the hilarious in the everyday (even in my OWN photos)... and so i come back to the house of max, everyday. and so i adore max. he's a good man.
Read lesssmart* well-read* i like the use of Atencion's quotes because it makes you think about the photos a little more & can even take you to places your brain didn't think of going* curiouser* and curiouser* Cheers, Billy Warhol ;))
