Jazz reading.
One of the most under-appreciated problems with our well-entrenched addiction to the endless superficial scroll is that we have forgotten how to read deeply.
You may have noticed your ability to settle into a long-form read, be it a book or a longer article or whatever, just ain’t what it used to be. About 6 paragraphs down we are already getting antsy. There is a nagging FOMO that something better is awaiting our attention. I feel it even when it is a book in my lap.
The good news is that rediscovering the joy of slow reading into a longer story is not difficult.
It just requires a little effort and going easy on yourself with any initial attentional frustrations.
Your brain is neuro-plastic, it will soon reorient to the joy of slow, intentional, undistracted reading.
Here is a story.
You might not be into Jazz music (wait..really?), but here is a beautifully crafted essay that will immerse you in Jazz culture and human relationship. Slow down and invest some karios time1 in this….read it at 33 1/2 not 45 rpm (if you know you know). Let the words speak the story to you…..it will unfold somewhere unexpected before the end.

- Karios is a Greek term referring to deep time as opposed to Chronos, which is chronological, longitudinal, scrolling time. ↩︎
