Our Precious Attention

Where do you place your precious attention?

Is it scattered like leaves in the wind -

Distracted, tugged in a thousand different directions?

Is it surface-level,

Skimming the edges of what truly matters?

Or is it deep, sustained, reverent - 

A gaze that honours the moment,

That sees beyond the noise

And into the heart of things?

Our attention is so very precious.

It shapes our minds,

Carving pathways, sculpting our perceptions,

Our capacity to be present

It is the key to regulation,

To balance

To the steady rhythm of a life lived with intention 

What we choose to attend to 

Is what we become

So, where will you place your precious attention today?

Is it worthy of your full self?

Is it calling you to be more present?

Let us attune to what is true

And allow our attention

To guide us toward the life we long to live.
