As I Focus My Attention, The World Around Me Comes Alive.
The world becomes more vivid when I focus my attention on its many details. As I concentrate, my senses come alive. Colors are brighter, sounds sharper, and everything that touches my skin—a loving touch, the warmth of a fire, a gentle breeze—heightens my perception and anchors my awareness in the present moment. My focus enlivens my inner world as well. Time spent in mindful contemplation floods my awareness with the grandeur of God. Now I open my eyes and turn my ears to the Divine expressing all around me as magnificent beauty and wondrous diversity. The more I focus my attention fully on God, the more easily I discern the Divine expressing all around me.
The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.—Psalm 19:1
