An Attention Collection is the place we gather our noticings, so-to-speak; our collection of eaves droppings, of movie quotes, songs, and stories. This is where we store our poetry and dad jokes, the sacred texts and obscenities we've acquired along the way. All this stuff is part of the soup that is our life.
