On three instructions and no more
“Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.”
Oliver offers this as a complete set, which is the joke and also not the joke. Three verbs, none of them about achievement, and the third one quietly making the first two social.
Tell about it is the instruction people skip. Noticing privately is a pleasure; saying it aloud risks sounding foolish about something small. She spent a working life doing exactly that, largely about geese and ponds.
