Funny – noticing has to be the most basic skill that all of us possess. It is probably the most taken for granted, the most outsourced, and the most potent of all skills. Noticings determine action. Learning how to notice is key to making making the world a better place.

One of the best gifts we can share with each other, is how to notice.

Listen … with whatever means you have.. to what’s going on around you.

Notice the world you live in, the country, the state, the city, the district, the school, the class, notice yourself.

Notice what others are noticing.

What if we set out each day planning to notice more, than we critique/defend/bemoan/worry?

Let’s just see… no?
