I listened to some of an of Hippo audiobook while stitching. The narration of the book is sadly awful, the speech is disjointed like someone using a programme of that person's voice instead of them reading it themselves.

I also managed to get 240 stitches done on my and I have 720/28500 remaining to complete. Cannot wait to get this to the framers!

I was struck by this quote from St. today that I read awhile ago.

"You [God] care for each of us, as if we alone existed." book 3 ch. 11

God, in his infinity, has unlimited attentiveness that he pours out on each of us. We are all so personally seen.

Paul Goodman has a line somewhere about how getting distracted is getting attracted to something else. I don't think he attributed the thought to Augustine but maybe it used by too basic and an insight.
> St. , one of the Church Fathers of . In his autobiographical work, “The Confessions,” Augustine observes that every time we pay attention to one thing, we are distracted from infinitely many other things.

> .. what would a medieval monk or a 17th-century preacher make of our complaints about modern distraction?
> I argue, they would, in all likelihood, find them strange...
> Donne uses the distraction he shares with his audience to forge both a community and a moment of attentiveness.
> Its rhetorical flair aside, Donne’s sermon expresses an old and fairly orthodox Christian view about distraction’s ubiquity... this view... St. Augustine

> The modern anxiety about distraction betrays a good deal about us. Insofar as we associate attention with power and control, it reflects our fears of losing both in an increasingly unpredictable cultural and natural climate. We also find ourselves living in an economy where we pay for cultural goods with our attention, so it makes sense that we worry about running out of a precious currency.

PS: Augustine ist ein Künstlername. Dahinter verbirgt sich Fredrik Gustafsson. Die Schwedische Wikipedia benutzt als Pronomen "er", falls sich jemand diese Frage stellt.

Il y a des messages destinés aux nouveaux arrivants sur Mastodon qui ressemblent davantage à une liste d'injonctions qu'à une aide réelle. Mais ne vaudrait-il pas mieux appliquer la belle phrase de saint Augustin : "Aime et fais ce que tu veux" ?

'.. the story of a pirate captured by , who asked him “how he dares molest the sea.” “How dare you molest the whole world?” the pirate replied: “Because I do it with a little ship only, I am called a thief; you, doing it with a great navy, are called an Emperor.”
