1.0 isn’t as bad as you think it is.

On Saturday night at 11pm, my second son, Alex, came into the world in a room full of screams, blood and fatigue. Once he was out, croaked his first salutation and I saw the colour slowly come back into my wife’s cheeks, it dawned on me on just how 1.0 the moment was.
When you’re experiencing something so shatteringly intense, your focus is so sharp that you can’t see, hear or feel beyond your immediate surroundings.
It’s like everything else that you’re a part of, and is a part of you, is momentarily detached from your consciousness, leaving your mind and heart against a canvass of total sensory deprivation. Nothing, and I mean nothing beyond your immediate surroundings can penetrate your awareness.
The emotions and feelings you do acknowledge become part of you and directly shape who you become.
1.0 is you, your life and nothing else. It’s fantastic. We should all get to try it.
