Why Do I Feel So Scattered?
BS’D
Some days feel focused. And some days… everything is pulling at you.
Your mind here, your energy there.
That scattered feeling isn’t random— it’s often emotional overload. The brain can only hold so much before it fragments attention.
So this is what I try:
I choose one thing—and stay with it.
Not because it’s everything… but because it brings me back.

Your soul is full of words, some inscribed, some engraved.
The words inscribed on your soul are like ink upon a page. They came to you from the outside, from life and its experiences. Eventually, they may fade and fall away, to be replaced by other words.
The words engraved are of the soul itself—just as engravings are no more than the form of the stone. When the soul finds quietude, those words are there. If the soul is in turmoil, or soiled by experience, those engravings need only be cleaned and uncovered. But they can never be torn away.
Those same words that are engraved in your soul are also engraved in a holy fire within the depths of the Soul of All Things. They are the words that Moses heard and inscribed on stone and on parchment. They are the words of the holy sages of Torah who found them within their own souls.
Immerse yourself in the words of Torah, allow them entry to touch your soul. Listen quietly, and you will hear those same engravings resonating within your soul.
