Do your senses tingle?
Then take a chance?
In a trance,
While the lonely mingle

And you'll visualize not taking any chances

Professors should embrace — and even advertise — lecture courses as an exercise in mindfulness and attention building, a mental workout that counteracts the junk food of nonstop social media.”
