In the immeasurable
vastness of the universe,
we are but a
speck of dust
on a speck of dust
on a speck of dust.
Yet we have this
false awareness of
being bigger than we are;
Building our little empires,
collecting our little fortunes,
envying people and titles
and placing value and worth
on tangible things
as though it matters.
While we glutton;
consume and feed
our mind and bodies on “stuff”,
in search of happiness
or praise
or a place on a higher rung,
we are starving
and killing our spirit.
This is why we are never satisfied.
This is why we continue to want more.
In the immeasurable vastness of it all,
money, success, status and “stuff”
is but a distracting lie that
hides a truth that could
set you free.
The greenest grass I’ve ever seen
had nothing,
but only what it needed,
and yet
wanted for nothing.
I saw this the day you posted it, but waited until we got back from our trip to comment. I wanted to be able to give it my undivided attention so that I could see into it. I agree with what you say and feel in this write, and I’m so glad to see you writing again. You know I’m your biggest fan, and I miss your writing. (No pressure, just sayin!) You are gifted, my lady. Love ya!
Thank you, Charlie. I appreciate that so much! I just can’t seem to get back in the groove.
I know the feeling, and it will happen in it’s own time. I never push when it comes to writing. It happens when it happens. Just live, love and be happy.
Workin on it 😘
