This means how one person’s ability to attend to internal and external curiosities differs from another’s.  Our species is more the same than it is different, but the sameness is not what excites us, right?

Have you ever thought about how your brain handles curious matters?  Unless your attention has been pathologized or someone has coined it somehow remarkable, why would you?

Here is one (and only one) example where I fall into some vortex within a vortex of leads and opportunities.  Thanks to Facebook, I have reconnected with many old friends from New Canaan, CT where I spent my latency age years.  One of them left a career in aviation for simpler things when his life became overburdened with change.  To make the point that this was a good decision, he sent me a link within this context:

I think I made the best descision to stop flying at that time for safety reasons. Some people would have continued in my place. Check out this story:

The pilot was under pressure and because of, at least that, made a terrible descision that killed 583 people.

See if you find some inspiration from this set of videos.

My attention missed the ‘from this set of videos,’ and this morning I went to watch the video, wanting to feel some sense of completion to at least one inbox.  I watched, listened and took in the tragedy of that day, the worst aviation disaster in history. 

I read a comment, follow the link, and was taken to search a keyword and here I land, back at home, remembering something I almost remember, the long line of unlikely connections leading to the channel of a very old friend on You Tube.  Again I listen, take in, and am satisfied with the way my attention varies, most especially when I do not correct it.
