Attention creates access without altering structure. Where your attention rests, connection becomes possible. Where it flickers, repair and honesty lose their footing. Like scaffolding, attention doesn’t change the building—it allows work to happen. Presence is not talking more; it is staying. When you give someone full attention, even briefly, you create enough structure for truth to surface without strain. Fragmented attention weakens intimacy faster than disagreement ever will.
Give two uninterrupted minutes of full attention.
