How do you go about appreciating, and keeping up with things? (lemm.ee)

By appreciating I mean taking the time to take something in more thoroughly than skimming, while also not letting oneself lose track of what's happening around them.

Zen training. Long hours of meditation have allowed me to absorb myself in simple pleasures without losing track of my surroundings.

Well, I should say a childhood of abuse gave me the gift of eternal vigilance, and zen training allowed me to slow down and enjoy things on top of that.
