Look around the space you are in and find everything blue. Perhaps you notice a book cover, a cushion, someone's clothing, a picture on the wall or a glimpse of sky through the window. Take a few seconds and really look.

Now, without looking again, how many red things did you see?

There is something incredibly valuable that each of us carries every day. It cannot be bought back once it has passed, yet it influences what we notice, what we learn, the relationships we nurture, the memories we create and ultimately how we experience our lives. It is our attention, and increasingly, everyone seems to want a piece of it.

When we imagine the future, our minds often jump to technology such as artificial intelligence, robotics, virtual reality, quantum computing or even space exploration. These possibilities capture our imagination because they represent what might become possible and yet perhaps the more important question is not what the future will look like, but ‘who will we become as we move into it?’

We often think of wisdom as something held by elders, scholars or ancient books. Yet perhaps wisdom is not something we invent. Perhaps it is something we learn to recognise.

Who are you?

At first glance, the question seems simple. Yet the longer we sit with it, the more interesting it becomes. Many people answer with their name, occupation or role. "I am a teacher." "I am a parent." "I am a student." "I am retired." These descriptions may tell us something about what we do, but do they tell us who we are?

Have you ever looked back at something that once felt overwhelming and wondered why it seems so much easier now?

What if one of the greatest gifts we can offer ourselves and others is simply our presence?

Imagine two students working together on a science project. Earlier in the day, during lunch, they had an argument on the soccer field and harsh words were exchanged and their feelings were hurt. The bell rang and both students returned to class.
