Distractions

Life is full of distractions

I tend to like them personally

But....

They can become a nuisance

And it can be a habitual problem at times

When you can’t stay present in the moment

Thinking of the past

Planning for the future

While theoretically helpful

Can also be a way of not living in the present

Or not dealing with the issues at hand

Of not looking in the mirror

And dealing with the crap we’ve shoved to the side

Which is why moments of self reflection

Are vital

Yet society is pushed to achieve constant levels of distraction

From noise pollution

And visual overload

To general stress and

Feelings of missing out

Yet it is these quiet moments

That we can really sort ourselves out

And go back to our true beingness

Out true selves

And find out deep inner bliss

Or the barriers present

that make us feel that we are not privy to that

It is here that we can find our divinity

Or wrestle and make peace with our monsters

It is a constant struggle

To not be seduced by all the endless and trivial minutia

We like to tell ourselves matters
