distraction

Distracted

dis·tract·ed/disˈtraktid/Adjective
 Unable to concentrate because one's mind is preoccupied.

Sometimes the mind floods with so many ideas that distraction becomes a beastly pest.

Finished the embroidery of the yarnbombed tree


I thought I had settled in my mind how I wanted the panel with the knit knot tree embroidery in it, but alas, there is a battle raging in my head.
Square or circle!

Art is the fatal net which catches these strange moments on the wing like mysterious butterflies, fleeing the innocence and distraction of common men.
Giorgio de Chirico
