Look, I understand busy. And distraction. I really do. I get caught in their two-fisted grip too often.
But busy has mutated into a consuming spiral that is threateningly close to chaos. Distraction then ends up running your show. It can become your reason for not doing exactly what will tame that beast. Going inside. Following your inner compass. Giving yourself the space to discover that there really is a whole other way to live. And to actually do it!
Here is what I’ve seen in the last few months.
Everywhere I look people are distracted. They aren’t following through, not acting on what they want. The daily news storm regularly overwhelms. They have to get the kids (or grand-kids) to their music lessons. They’ve been in meetings all day, and the list of emails to answer tonight is miles long.
But when busy becomes your reason for not doing something that will give you what you say you want, something in me wants to cry out.
Freedom Lives Beyond Distraction
Isn’t it time to make a change for yourself? To take control of the whirling and swirling and get back into the driver’s seat of your own life?
Instead of losing yourself in the chaos, learn to navigate within it. Own your life so that you can make choices that really work for you.
Because you can.
And if what you want is someone to walk with you, to be with you while you do this deeper navigation, go over here. Let’s start with a Quantum Connection Call.

I’m adding this in from my friend and poet who I’ve written about before, Wali Qutbuddin Loren Ruh Smith. He just sent this to me in response to this post.
Addenda 3: Voice 3: My Philos Nineteen Voices: Defining Who I Am
From A Seeker After Light
Yah Nur, Yah Essence
You are That you are! I am That I am!
We are Who we have been waiting for!
It is right now that we have to,
absolutely have to…actually recognize and become
Who We Truly Are, NOW, At This Time!
And we all know this!
So what is holding us back?
Come on, step forward and state your case for the
“Why not?” that is limiting your being and keeping you
imprisoned in this inherent idea of who you really are…not!
The Light, Yah Nur, is all about you! Any time you
look an epiphany in the face or become aware of a
true miracle having occurred to your self or some one
near you or realize a deep truth that has been in the
background of your consciousness for half a century…
that’s when you get a glimpse of Who You Really Are!
And you know these events happened…but our very
well conditioned and maintained cultural mind set
that says: “I must be crazy to think that anything more
than a mere coincidence has occurred.” and blocks the
expansion of our consciousness and limits our ability
to progress as human beings being human beings entirely
caught in and knowing of all of the knowledge that has
built the beings that we are. And, as I have said before
in my poetry and in many gatherings of my Life’s Path,
that all that we have ever needed to become is:
“Who We Really Are!” and
We already know…as King Solomon said some time ago:
“There is nothing new under the Sun!”. (Cont.)
So, it seems to me, that since the ancient ones are
being heard again, because of the obvious, in our faces-
facts, maybe, just maybe you and I can really get off the
dime and celebrate the simple fact we have it all,
and that to fully benefit from God’s largess
all we really have to do is
to turn to one another and say:
I Love You!
In You I Can See Clearly My Self!
for I Know Truly That There Is No Separation
that my ego is not the creator of…for
The Holy One had no intention of Creating
His Children solely for them to compete with
each other but actually That Their Creations
were, indeed, meant to Complete
Our Mother’s Eden Garden
and Explain His Beingness
Which Is Ours..
