36 Views of SF: 9. Specialist or Generalist?
June 20, 2018

Are you a caring
specialist
or a care
generalist?

Do you care more and more
about less and less
til you care everything
about nothing?

or care less and less
about more and more
until you care nothing
about everything?

Most of us are in between.
We are distracted care-drivers.

We care mostly
about what’s in our lamps
and don’t give a damn
about what’s not on our road.

What would it be like
to care intensely
about the one thing that
drives us all mad?

That nav system nothing
with only one line –
You’ve heard it before:
“Me, myself, and mine.”

It keeps telling me to go
someplace that
doesn’t even exist.

When you get there you’ll weep.
You’ve been driving asleep.
Care enough to wake up, at least.

Care everything about nothing
Watch its every move.
Care everything about nothing
Until you become something new.
