Attention: The Currency of Relationship

 

Attention: The Currency of Relationship

Pay your bills, pay your taxes

  Pay your tithe, pay for masses

    Pay the rent, pay the landlord

      Pay it back, pay it forward

        Pay your fine, pay the piper

          Pay your way, pay the driver

            Pay for ads, pay for mentions

              Pay for sins,

                              Pay ATTENTION!

Attention is the price for all relationship.

“Ignore this at your peril,” I heard the cuckoo quip

I might not have even noticed it at first. I approach the car from the driver’s side and walk away with my back turned. The next time I would even have seen the passenger side of the vehicle would have been the next morning approaching it as I came out of the house. The lady at the insurance agency asked me if the car was moving or stationary when the accident occurred. How convenient to say, “Parked in the lot at Redners while I was in the store,” clearly stationary, and me not the active agent in the mishap. What an easy story to tell: plausible, ...
