A Simple Solution to Life's Big Distractions
In the famous words of Scarlett O'Hara, "I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow."
Sometimes it slips in and grabs you, distraction
It may take the form of enormous abstraction
Life's events cluster, demanding reaction
You can't find your foothold, you can't get good traction
Move cautiously forward, there is no retraction
No easy solution, no quick satisfaction
What about cosmos or laws of attraction?
I may take a nap, the best choice is inaction!

Re-visiting.
