I'm only guessing, but to me it seems like a very "male" way to go through the world. I have a theory that the male has strong attachments to the primitive hunter, a theory which I got after reading a lot of sex pulp novels from the 1960s. The men in those novels live as you do, by sensation. Their attention would flit from moment to moment from a woman's perfume or the shape of her silhouette, to the dim awareness of a male rival, to some business he had to take care of, to people entering and exiting a room and whether they were likely to be friends or enemies, then back to the woman, etc. Very much like a hunter out on the savannah. It must be a somewhat ordinary male trait, because all of these authors of these pulp novels seemed to know that this is the way a man's mind works. My mind works in a very different way. I am much less floating, much more goal-oriented and grounded in my own ego. But it seems that your way is perfectly suited to a jazz musician!Anna Billerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715596939310896657noreply@blogger.com
