AFTER THE ESSAY

Notes in the margin.

Take a moment to follow an idea from the essay.

Where did this idea begin?

This fictional essay began with a simple prompt: what might we notice if we gave an ordinary moment a little more attention? Its examples are invented for this interactive design.

A small exercise to take with you

Choose one familiar thing on your next walk. Pause long enough to describe three details you have never put into words before.
