While a photo freezes time
Memory can fade away
The moment we are in at present is far more precious
It is easier to have the charms and distractions of life fleet away
from the essence of our presence in our everyday lives
The challenge is our attention
What we battle with is the economy and space of the mind
to give to that which is the most important
to which is the most deserved
A moment with a little one,
catching the glimpses of those tender moments
making available the mental and emotional bandwidth
to make the moments count
Sometimes, if we just stay calm
for a few seconds minutes or even an hour
to stay unconnected,
to stay protected from distractions
spending valuable time with the ones
who deserve our attention,
it makes a whole lot of difference for them
What causes our distraction is also the thief of our attention
our attention matters to the people who love us and the people who care
It matters to make them know that I am here
I really am here.
