Dancing With Distraction
The Illusion Of Productivity
Dancing thoughts that swirl around,
In the midst of work, they seek to drag me down.
Sights and sounds start to pull me away,
Taking me off to a distant place.
Reality fades as I begin to dip,
Allowing distraction to take its grip.
Caught up in this moment, now I forget,
There are deadlines that must be met.
Illusionary promises on the list, with a pull so strong I can't resist.
On and on, it keeps going and going,
Never-ending, the story seems to keep flowing.

Make Like A Tree And Just Be
Trees are wonderful examples of the law of attraction. We often feel we need to chase after the things we want. Leaping from one failure or success to the next. The rat race of life can cloud our judgment between what we think we want to make us happy and what actually does bring us happiness. Look at how a tree grows. It never has to leave its place to grow strong. Everything it needs to prosper flows right to it without any effort. All it has to do is be open to take in all the blessings that surround it and come to it. The earth at its base provides stability, allowing its roots to take hold and give it strength. The sun moves through the sky giving maximum light with which to nourish its self. It is surrounded with just the right atmosphere to breathe moved by the breeze. Water falls straight from the heavens delivering life giving elixir directly to it. The leaves drop to the ground to nourish the soil and feed the roots. All these things taking place to provide this tree with a space where it can be abundant and prosperous. It never has to leave its space in order to find these things. It simply just is and knows that the earth will nurture it.
