{Focus} 5 minute Friday

 

Joining Lisa Jo for 5 minute Friday today...
As Lisa Jo says... 5 Minute Friday is...

Unscripted. Unedited. Real.

It started because I’d been thinking about writing and how often our perfectionism gets in the way of our words. And I figured, why not take 5 minutes and see what comes out: not a perfect post, not a profound post, just five minutes of focused writing.

Word for today "FOCUS"


What I focus on expands, grows and becomes my truth.

What I focus on becomes the way I see the world.

 It becomes me.

My focus seems to shift like plates beneath the earth.

Between a hundred different voices calling my name,

I rush in and out of focus, my focus blurs in the motion

...and often, I loose it.

What I focus on is such an intentional thing, such a foundational thing.

So I focus on the new lessons being learnt,

 The squeals of delight instead of the mess of paint and paper strewn about the floor.

I focus on God, when the world tells me there are more important things to do.

I focus on the flowers she plops in a jam jar rather than the trail of muddy footprints she brings in with them.

And it's not that I don't attend to the physical things that need attention, it's just that I'm seeking that which lies beneath them.

Focusing on the eternal light

that shines through this temporal kaleidoscope.
