A CONVERSATION BETWEEN ME AND HE

ME:      Mornin’ God.

HE:       Hows be you this day eh?

ME:      I’s be fine, hows bout you?

HE:       Oh, fair to middlin, should be better as the day goes on.

ME:      Ya, I know what ya mean.

HE:       You know that I’ll always be around for whatever or whenever.

ME:      Ya I know, but sometimes I forget. My mind (and body) just ain’t what it used to be.   I seem to become more easily distracted as I get older, at least I think I do when I can remember.

HE:       Ya, me too. It seems that there is so much more going on these days, too much to really focus on. But you know it’s a lot easier if you can just learn to focus. I mean really focus.

ME:      Focus? How? Where?

HE:       Learn to focus on what’s really important, and focus where it’s really important. As I told someone one time, don’t sweat the details I’ll take care of those. You can look at the big picture and enjoy it.

ME:        But what’s really important, most of the time just about everything seems to be really important. I just can’t deal with it all, all the time. It’s so overwhelming most of the time. I feel like crawling into a hole and hiding a lot of the time.

HE:       If you listen to me you wouldn’t have this problem. You know what to do because you’ve been shown this. You should know what to do because you’ve been told this. Many, many times. You see the effect that good focus has when it’s utilized. If you focus on what you have been taught by me through others, by me directly, and through your basic common sense (that I gave you by the way) it should be so obvious. A real no-brainer.

You’ve been taught that your focus shouldn’t be in the worldly realm but on the spiritual realm, focus on that and you’ll be focused on me. If you focus on me then the rest will be taken care of by yours truly.

Listen to me. Learn from me. Watch me and emulate me. The best thing in the world right now would be for you to be as much like me as possible. In being like me the problem of focus is non-existent, null and void. Problems as you think of them now become problems as I think of them now, non-entities.

            Simple right?

ME:      It sounds simple when you talk about it but…………….

HE:       Well you keep trying and I’ll keep teaching and between the two of us it will work out. I’m absolutely positive that it will.
