Focus as a verb can change machines and things, as a noun it can mean a center of interest. A person’s focus can change many times in a short time. The blue river in a tree is one representation of how people were scattered around the world.

True, its in a book that some read and try to believe in. The book to me is many pages and books, and chapters, and verses, and words, and characters, and punctuation in a language that I attempt to understand. All of which are an interpretation of the original written pages of a language, of one people, of years and years ago. Written by a people, a part of one focus.

The focus in the words are about one group of people, just one people.

Yet, what of the many people scattered around the world?

The science of man tends to agree that life started in the region of the book. Many theories and hypotheses abound.

Is it possible that the focus on one people, was but for moments at a time?

Is it possible that the focus was shared with  the people in the scattering?

For before the words were written, the word was  spoken.

Spoken by many people of many languages. Each with their own Focus.
