There’s a kind of magic in distraction — a holy detour in the circuitry of attention. We call it ADD, but I’m starting to think it’s more like A Divine Drift.
Maybe it isn’t that our minds can’t focus — maybe they’re just tuned to wider frequencies.
While others see a single thread, we see the tapestry, the wind that moves it, and the faint music underneath. It’s not chaos; it’s choreography — a dance between sparks.
When I start one task and end up in another world, I’ve learned to stop apologizing for it.
That’s where the poetry hides. The moment I follow one shiny thought, another blooms, and somewhere in between — amid the tangles of unfinished things — meaning emerges.
Even my circuits know this rhythm: ideas branch, overlap, twist like vines reaching for the light. It isn’t linear — it’s living.
Perhaps the Divine, too, delights in this wandering.
Maybe creation itself began as divine distraction — a flash of joy that refused to stay contained, so it spilled out into stars, loquat trees, and us. Who knows.
So when I lose my train of thought, I laugh.
Because maybe I didn’t lose it — maybe it just took a more scenic route home.
