Focus

I was having fun building up layers of circles on this page, adding a bit of shadow here, a highlight there. Filling in background colour, doing a bit of stencilling.

Then it felt like the page was done. It just needed some words. But what should I write?

Then I saw this little piece of the first layer peeking through the middle of the crowding circles, and I had the word:

Sometimes we have to look beyond everything that is crowding in on us and focus on what is important. And sometimes that is hard work.

What's crowding in on you at the moment?
