“You feel you are purely present in the moment. You experience a loss of self-consciousness. In this state it’s like your ego has vanished and you have merged with the task—like you are the rock you are climbing.”
Johann Hari, Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention—and How to Think Deeply Again

Italo Calvino

Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities
