Distraction vs. Direction

Distraction is fireworks at noon—
much light, no stars.

Direction is tide—
it says nothing and still carries you.

First ground, then move.
Four in, six out—shoulders drop.

Make it smaller—does it get clearer?
That’s direction.

Does it ask for more and leave you emptier?
That’s distraction.

One thread a day is enough.
Gentle isn’t weak—gentle is precise.

Anchor line: Don’t pull—weave.
