Dancing with Distraction: Why We Run When Love Calls

In Dancing with Distraction, Ronan Cross offers a compassionate guide for anyone who feels perpetually pulled away from what matters most: the call of the heart. On the surface, our days are packed with to-do lists, notifications, and projects that promise purpose. Yet beneath each completed task lies a quieter yearning-for presence, connection, and love. Through a seamless blend of evocative poems, candid essays, and hands-on practices, this book reveals how busywork becomes both our shield and our barrier to intimacy.

Whether you're single, partnered, or simply seeking to reclaim more wholehearted living, Dancing with Distraction is both a sanctuary and a compass. It offers practical tools alongside lyrical reflections, empowering you to step off the hamster wheel of distraction and into a life where love has always been waiting. Let this book be your mirror and your map-a tender companion guiding you back, again and again, to the simple truth that love calls you home.
