When you have a distraction it is
A momentary blip in the energy of the experience,
And at first it can appear very pleasurable,
Very exciting for the mind/ego/personality.
If it is a distraction that shifts the body,
It can also be pleasurable for the body.
You will go back again and again
To this distraction, seeking the pleasure.
Your desire to seek the momentary pleasure
Is a part of you, but it will not lead you anywhere.
Unless the experience is whole.
For example, using drugs or alcohol
Will give one experience.
Shopping or social media will give another.
These can’t sustain, but instead
Leave the body and the mind/ego/personality
Depleted, unwhole, less than.
Whereas wading into a stream
In your bare feet with the sun overhead,
Is an immensely pleasurable experience
That brings wholeness to all of you:
For body, mind/ego/personality
And yes, soul.
