“Soft focus is an important skill that can effect us metaphorically. In other words, the way we see the future has everything to do with how well we can look up and see the expanded horizon before us.”
I just want to mention that I have not used nor ever read the NY Times. I live in London where for the past couple of years have been bombarded with free newspapers all owned by Rupert Murdoch. Just the amount of trivial gossip that consume our moments in transit leave my mind a wash the uninspiring. I have thus aimed to use a newspapers at random.
The Guardian, The Independent, The Evening Standard, The Daily Telegraph and Most recently as I have been crossing borders EL Pais, Club de Musica and Le Figaro. I am not focusing on the individual but the bigger picture and the greater whole.
