I am tired of being a ghost, (...). I am tired of being a mystery. I want to take form, to appear, and one only gains visibility by action.

Attention, taken to its highest degree, is the same thing as prayer. It presupposes faith and love. Absolutely unmixed attention is prayer.

— Jane Hirshfield, in “Reconnecting After a Silence” in the January/February issue of Poets & Writers Magazine (2018)
