“It’s a lot to take in all at once,” you say when you are feeling overwhelmed. Your attention is drawn in multiple directions at once. What does this tell you about the mind? It is oh so very flexible. And attention? It is all-important if you wish to find peace. The first step is awareness. Notice the thoughts. Notice how they dart about like fish in a school. This experience you are having is like a school, indeed, with so much to learn, so much to do. It’s a lot to take in at once. With the intention to practice attention and be present to how scattered you may be at times, you will begin to settle into the peaceful state known as presence. This is when your life will truly change, from the thoughts you become aware of in the stillness.

You are so very loved.
