Attentive to Attention

From the Tarot of the Absurd, the Page of Cups; from the Post-psychedelic Cyberpunk Deck, the Key:

          The young Page seems to be in a stupor from whatever she's been reading. It is easy to become emotionally intoxicated by what we hear, see or read, often unaware what's happening until we've reached a tipping point. A cup of black coffee and a walk in the sunshine might be what she needs to clear her head. We've slid headlong into the information age, thinking we need to know something about everything and everyone, but how much of it is actually useful? The Key points to the words of Herbert A. Simon, "What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention..." We need be attentive to what we give our attention. 

Mindfulness means being awake. It means knowing what you are doing.
