The world contains more detail than any lifetime can finish noticing.

There is more in a single street than you could exhaust in a year, and you will pass through thousands of them. Whatever you attend to, an enormous amount goes unseen, not because it is hidden but because attention is narrow and life is short. Completeness was never on offer, and the sense of having seen a place is mostly a trick of familiarity.

Since you cannot notice everything, choose deliberately rather than by default. Give real attention to a small number of things and let the rest go by. Depth in a few places is the only version of thoroughness actually available to you.
