There’s a steep hill in the South West of England called Cooper’s Hill. Every year bunch of people line up at the top to chase after a round of cheese.
They break bones and twist ankles. They dislocate various members of their anatomies. And the winner... takes the cheese.
It’s ridiculous, frankly, to get all bent out of shape for a 7-pound circle of coagulated milk. But is cheese really what they're chasing? 
 
And don't you and I do the same thing every day?

Chasing Cheese

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. These are the things that make us who we are, they remind us what we’d like to be less of, and they give us hope for who we might become.

This podcast is dedicated to helping people notice their noticings, cultivate wonder, and generously share their findings. Hosted by Anthony Garcia
