Distracted - Missing the essential

Distracted

 

The whole time

I am distracted

and do not get around

to the essential.


The whole time

I am busy

and do not get any rest.


The whole time

I am without orientation

and do not find

the right path.


The whole time

I am dissatisfied

and do not get around

to think new thoughts.


The whole time

I wonder why there are

so many human unfriendly rules

for humanity?


The whole time

I ask myself

what good is all of that?


That can’t possibly

be all there is to life.


Who has an interest

in me missing

the most important thing in life?


Who lets me run

aimlessly through life?


Who distracts me constantly

so that I walk by

the most important thing

in ignorance?


Now I have had enough of that!

I no longer want to neglect

the relationship

to my heavenly father.


Now I want to go search

and discover in his word

the happiness and joy

that comes from the inside.


Now I want

to allow myself rest

so that I can hear

his still and quiet words

by myself.


Now I want to let myself

be restored

and enjoy my humanity.


Now I want to learn

to be joyful about life

no matter what my surroundings

offer me.


Now I no longer

want to be distracted

from the essential

by unimportant

and unnecessary things!

Micah 6:8 (The Israel Bible)

He has told you, O man, what is good, and what Hashem requires of you: Only to do justice and to love goodness, and to walk modestly with your God;

The second problem - PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder)

The second problem I have a problem, or so I thought for a long time. Something bothered me immensely. Whether it was: suffering, illness,  injustice, bullying, abuse, loss, or anything else that threw me off track, what's certain is that the pain of it was etched into my mind. I got incredibly upset about it, simmered with anger and resentment, shrouded myself in self-pity and depression, occupied myself with all sorts of distractions, and did all sorts of things to try and get rid of the pain. Soon I realized that the thought about my problem had become lodged inside me, like a bird that has built a nest  in my tree. I'm starting to brood over the negative feelings. Day and night, they give me no peace. I'm getting so worked up about this terrible situation that I'm constantly preoccupied with all sorts of possible and even impossible scenarios. Soon, I'm experiencing increasing difficulty concentrating. Coping with everyday tasks becomes more and m...

Information about the posts in March 2026

All posts posted in March 2026 have a specific order to them. I have placed them in 3 different categories: 1. The Problems 2. The Considerations 3. The Solutions Posts, that will be posted after March 2026 do not have this order, but will be posted randomly only sorted by the time they were posted. It is my hope, that the reader realizes, that he/she is not the only one struggling with a certain problem. I have spent much effort going into the depth of each problem with the hope that the reader can identify with it. Over time I have come to realize that the way we react to problems in principle is timeless. We all get stuck with the same or similar reactions. At the beginning those reactions are rather unproductive or even destructive.  It is my goal to not only honestly write about different problems, but also give the reader, who is seeking solutions good thoughts to consider. I do wish for each reader to read the lyrics with an open mind and contemplate what is wr...

When the soul cries out - Emotional pain

When the soul cries out   When the soul cries out then the head is full with pain. When the soul cries out then it is obvious that you cannot concentrate. When the soul cries out then the everyday routines become difficult. When the soul cries out then any contacts with the outside world become more and more difficult. When the soul cries out then you become more impatient with yourself and others. When the soul cries out then you need a lot of love and comfort  in order to heal again.     (1606121555-1912,1706120737-0747)     Psalm 147:3 (The Israel Bible) He heals their broken hearts, and binds up their wounds.
