Distraction 8.7.20
Distraction In a moment of distraction I read ‘Distraction is the root of sin’. It is certainly a short fall. Losing sight of the ball can lose you the game. A poem though is a distraction from the prose flow of life, affirming a higher level, reminding me I can stand in mind above that flow. Other thinking and acting takes me lower. Knowing what I ought to do I am taken from that by sinful distraction. To live in the present moment serving obligations yet attending to the high call of God and neighbour will keep me on course.
