SOME LOGIC SOME FOCUS

Monday May 30, 2016

Like a magnifying glass held in the sun, concentrating energy and heat on one spot. One dot, one point of concentrated heat – everything combined, burning a hole in something … can you focus?

What, if anything, in our lives do we give sufficient concentration of our focus, our energy, our power?

Clarity comes, methinks, with better focuses on our vital few …

The vital few activities, vital few clients, vital few family, vital few friends.

Vital.

Few.

How many things, ideas, people – matter to you?

How much effort, how much focus do they get?

I rest my case then …

morning walk:  6C/43F, overcast/gusty/damp, rain overnight (with a glorious sunny weather-week predicted), wet grass and smelly things had Gusta’s nose brushing through all the deep grass in search of rotting organic treasures – and again my feet are soaked from soggy grass – love it!
