From Erich Fromm ///// CONCENTRATION / // // //

One must learn to be concentrated in everything one does, in listening to music, in reading a book, in talking to a person, in seeing a view. The activity at this very moment must be the only thing that matters, to which one is fully given. If one is concentrated, it matters little what one is doing; the important, as well as the unimportant things assume a new dimension of reality, because they have one's full attention. . . To be concentrated means to live fully in the present, in the here and now, and not to think of the next thing to be done, while I am doing something right now. (p. 113)
