Focus

With new things comes a change of focus. Working on a project and that blots out all the other projects for a while. All my thoughts go toward the new project. Obsession really. Nearly singular focus upon it. Realize that the other things that require constant attention are suffering.  How to seperate the thoughts and the devoted time to bring the focus back to the whole?

Seek

That is another of the strange dicotomy. Seek and you will find they say and then it is when you stop seeking you will gain in the very next breath. Maybe the seeking has just been a distraction from what was there all along. The process of removing the blinders as it were.

Being

Wondering always how to be with others. Certainly, be yourself is what we are told. But really being ones self is not a good way to walk through the world if and when that way is selfish and self centered. Listening to the david foster wallace commencement speech yesterday. Much on how to go out into the world and be authentic. 

Focus

The world is the world. We know its nature. It has good and bad. We experience both. We walk trough life and there it is. Focus is the difference. Where do we focus our attentention, our energies? What do we call in and what do we put out into the world? Even in adversity, even in paradise, in light and dark. Is it our choice?
