I used to tape over the top corner of my computer screen so I couldn't see what time it was. I like the idea that I'm just with the words and not knowing what's going on with the world, when it's lunch or dinner.
This quote highlights a conscious effort to disconnect from the constant barrage of information and time constraints that modern life imposes. By covering the clock, the individual creates a private space to immerse themselves fully in the present moment and the power of words, free from external distractions. It reflects a desire for mindfulness and a slower pace, reminding us of the importance of occasionally stepping back from digital overwhelm to find solace in simple, immediate experiences.
