Dilettante's Diary: the internal dialogue of a hedonist bluestocking.

I am a dilettante. I know quite a bit about a lot of things, but I don't know enough to be an expert on anything. I have a very sensual, hedonistic nature, but I am also a thinker, and I aim one day to be worthy of the label 'bluestocking', despite its pejorative connotations.

This is my journal, which, delightfully enough, doesn't have to go wherever I go, but is accessible from nearly everywhere I am.

Attention & Intimacy

"Attention is the essence of our practice, the teaching of all our ancestors. Incomplete attention is diffused and from there you wander into your old cycles of preoccupation. Come back to your sharp attention. This is the way of intimacy. Without attention there can be no intimacy." --Robert Aitken Roshi
