Lent Offering: A distracted mind

My pastor said something a week ago: "One of the greatest resources we have is our attention. What we give our attention to can drag us down and change our life." So for Lent this year, I am once again giving up social media (though I may go online to post these). 

This got me thinking about what it's liked to have a distracted and fragmented mind. 
I was challenged to follow the example of a friend who is doing a "creative lent". Rather than giving up anything for lent, he is attempting to create something each day: often a haiku or text combined with a photo. 

I decided to try to do this as well, but not each day. I've had a bit of writer's block and then was frustrated at images that I could conjure in my head but not produce effectively. 
Then I remembered that I have enjoyed playing with AI images on occasion and so I fired up Adobe Express and Firefly and came up with these to go with a 5-7-5 haiku-like poem.
