Simplicity & Generosity

Awesome mysteries,
marvelous phenomena.
Miniscule we are.

…

So much is unseen
by the humble human eye.
It’s real, regardless.

…

To look and listen,
honoring each, everyone.
With humility.

…

To cede, grant, give in.
Humility, gentleness.
One way towards peace.

…

Showy peacock tails,
modest flowers, they just are.
Why we humans fret?

…

Not better, not worse.
Praise, shame, are both held lightly
when true to ourselves.

Tiny wildflowers,
they simply are as they are.
No comparisons.

…

Simply, without tricks,
flowers open, fruits ripen.
Without pretensions.

…

Going out of style,
overconsumption, greed, waste.
Well, it’s about time!

…

Backstage, in the dark.
Humbly, anonymously.
Good bye, resumé!

…

May we shed, let go,
release the superfluous.
Keep the essentials.

Breathe, eat, drink, move, rest.
It is simpler than we think.
True to our nature.

…

More than what we need, 
does not satisfy as much 
as enough for all.

Sufficient, enough.
To say ‘no, thanks’, and to trust.
What’s needed, no more.

…

In extravagance,
covered-up costs, price, problems.
Some, intangible.

In scarcity, need,
treasures are hidden from view.
Human, otherwise.

… 

Cold? Coat. Lonely? Cat.
Thirsty? Water. Hungry? Food.
What is essential.

To be? Yes. To have?
Pain? Yes. Worry, suffering?
What is added on.

…

In moderation.
Just enough is just enough.
Without excesses.

In moderation.
It is sufficient, sometimes.
Other times it’s not.

… 

Generosity
is to know that we’re cared for.
There’s enough for all.

Lest we not worry 
when giving generously.
There’s enough for all.

…

Gentle with it all.
Good enough is good enough.                   
Kindly, with no rush.

…

To reimburse fully
for all damages, losses.
No deductible. 

To serve, give, love, live,
with grace, generosity.
Without keeping score.

…

We are being showered,
with priceless unearned blessings.
For free, by sheer grace.

No price exacted.
Free, by the grace of Goodness.
No interest charged.
