This is a brilliant likening that applies to so many areas of life. It’s so difficult to focus on ‘big life’ through the daily noise. Really important food for thought as we all decide which regions of our regular routines should be cultivated, pruned - or ripped out at the root! Approaching each slice, viewing that unique data, carrying over sums to see which columns are left short? This method truly reveals a clearer perspective!

I like that thought, Marie! Each column is a unique perspective in itself,

Thank you Flavia. I plan to share this with August, who is in 2nd grade. Yesterday after swim class, he was captivated by JCCSF catalogue whose cover featured an AI bot line drawing sitting across the table from a human. He asked if he could take it and proceeded to load it into the trunk of my car. As we drove toward home, I expressed my thoughts on AI using the example that using a digital map app had lessened my ability to travel from two points in San Francisco had declined, compared with when I used a paper map. This reliance on a digital device impacted my ability to think. After a period of shared silence, he asked, "how can something make your mind no longer work?" Upon arrival at his parent's house, he said, "I don't want the catalogue."

Good for August. I think teaching our kids to think may be something we are forgetting how to do.
