She would swim these channels that no one had swum across but were lesser channels, or she'd become the first woman to do it, or the first person to do it in the opposite direction.
She just built this life and career.
like from channel to channel to channel, like each to diminishing fanfare, you know?
It's like she had done this big thing and sometimes she fails and sometimes she doesn't.
I start to become very moved by this person who is on some level trying to do what I'm trying to do, which is to like move from story to story.
It's like to try to like seek these new achievements and like seek this like new beauty and meaning in my life.
and there's even these things that i find about like her sort of like being very workmanlike because you have to be like you know you are building up your body you are going like right arm breathe left arm you're finding the rhythm and that is like what a musician would do and that is what a writer does and so suddenly this story that is you know a pretty traditional memory palace story which is tell the story of some unsung hero or some or some forgotten person or
or a person who is in a category, whether it's an identity category or a job category that we just don't talk about enough.
But what it really becomes about is I'm merely using the past and using this person's story to figure out something about myself and then find a way to articulate it in a way that you too might connect.
Some of it's like sort of a self-knowledge question.
It's about knowing who you are and what you're interested in and then leaning into it and developing it.
But that is also not so simple.
Maybe for me, it started earlier than most or something like that because I do actually think that that is a thing about me.
I feel like I've been very self-interrogating for a very long time.
But what we were talking about in terms of how the idea then spurs another thing, there is a kernel that I feel like is universal in that.
We are what we pay attention to.
Like we are what we care about.
Pay attention to what you care about.
It's the kind of thing that like, you know, 10 poets walk into the same garden, you know, they're going to come up with a bunch of different things because one person is really into flowers and one person is really into soil and one person really is to like the way that light through the leaves.
And we are each unique in our own way, that our attentional lens is truly definitional to our character.
