One of the things that I don't want to be is one of of those fathers that has a bluetooth ear bud in while he's watching his kids play. I want to be focused on the present, the now, the "right in front of me". The extreme little that I know about buddhism (attachment to desires) makes sense to me. The posts today on boingboing / google+ about "multitasking" or continuous partial attention remind me a lot of the buddhism philosophy.
In layman's terms I think that this translates into:
- go for more walks with my loved ones
- enjoy a hot beverage and focus on the people in front of me
- with kids, put down the camera / take my eyes off the screen more.
If I'm really good at it, no one will ever notice all my effort. Bwahahahaha!
