This sounds good: "...assuredly retain the good, while the superfluous or impure passes away & leaves no trace." The trouble starts when the context/container goes down the drain with the superfluous and impure, leaving only an unmoored concept that is important and meaningful to me but that I can't articulate to anyone else. Am I the only one?

That's when you desperately search for the original and try to figure out how to make the context work, only to forget where you read it in the first place.

It's been such a busy month for me that my attention is fragmented - I feel like a collander with bigger holes! 😂 I'm listening to an audiobook biography of Jane Austen, and I have to re-listen to previous chapters; some evenings, every bit of information seems to go right through my head!
