Focus Fire

Heyo all,

Finding Focus. I have been trying to do my school reading recently, not that PINTEREST is helping...but on these cold winter days it has me thinking.

Focus is a lot like a fire.

I start the day knowing I have work to do. I get ready with my supplies: wood, kindling, lighter pencils, textbook, notebook. I even leave the humidity tablet behind because today this work will get done. I will focus. I start.

Nothing sparks.

I stare at lighter flickering an open textbook, highlighted alone, willing something to burn, but nothing. Nada. Why? I wait for minutes hours doing nothing it feels like. Then I remember oxygen. It needs are air. I start blowing moving, pacing, doing push-ups.

Tentative flames poke forth.

It is working. Diligently, I keep at it, poking taking practice quizzes, prodding goals, and adding more fuel music as necessary. I don't give up, I don't leave its side.

It catches. The whole structure is alive in golden-purple heat. It is marvelous, even if it took dedication to get there. It came.

And it is beautiful.
