One bite with lots of flavors in it. But...somehow you miss the rich, robust flavor of a red tomatoe, picked fresh from the garden, or a tree ripened nectarine that spills it's sweetness into your mouth as the juices drip down to your wrist. One flavor at a time...yum!<BR/><BR/>I like to concentrate on one thing at a time, to luxuriate in the moment. <BR/><BR/>And I like to really HEAR what someone is saying... to swallow their thoughts whole and let them nourish me. I can't do that when I hear too many voices coming at me at once.<BR/><BR/>I figure if you try to divide one piece of bread among twelve people... you're still going to have twelve hungry, weak people to deal with... but if you feed the slice to one person... he'll be nourished and can help you make or find bread for the others. <BR/><BR/>I'm taking too long and making not much sense. I enjoyed this post...well... when don't I enjoy your posts? They're always wonderful.

We can't properly focus on multiple things.

Good advice, after all we can only do one thing at a time, even us women! I'll certainly try to bear the thought in mind next time the world seems to be crowding in.

Best of luck on the 20th with my Giveaway!<BR/><BR/>This is my achilles heel...being stopped dead in my tracks by a sense of being overwhelmed by whatever task is before me. It requires a very real conscious act to step back and take that one step forward, however small, a step in faith that somehow, I will accomplish what I've set out to do.<BR/><BR/>You have a beautiful 'home' here. Very cheerful and inviting. I'll be back to visit again.<BR/><BR/>CarolynnCarolynn Anctilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566204713508877389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-50462240675306832822009-03-14T08:00:00.000-06:002009-03-14T08:00:00.000-06:00great thought and maybe the one person nearest is ...great thought and maybe the one person nearest is ourselves and taking the time to fill our well spirtually before we head out to help others on an empty well.Great Grandma Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791149428495689835noreply@blogger.com
