Directional gaze

You could walk at night for a long time without once looking up to see the moon and stars.

You could stare at the moon and stars for a long time without once watching where you’re walking.

You could stare ahead for a long time without once diverting your gaze in any other direction.

Look down, look up, look ahead, and look around. There’s a time for each; none is exclusively paramount.
