There’s abundance all around,
yet so often, we ask for more,
as if sitting in a gold mine,
wishing for silver instead.
Wanting more is never wrong,
but forgetting what already is
becomes the quiet thief of joy.
As I sit at my kitchen table,
dog curled at my feet,
a warm, healthy meal before me,
music filling my soul,
I feel the heat of my home,
the softness of clothes that move with me
as I dance across the kitchen floor.
This is abundance.
Gratitude doesn’t cancel desire,
it deepens it.
Growth and expansion are why
I chose this human experience.
But if I can’t fall to my knees
for what’s already here,
how could I ever cherish
what’s still to come?
So as I walk this ever-changing path,
dreaming of what’s next,
I stop,
and take it in,
and feel grateful for this view.
I may not yet be at the top,
but it’s beautiful right now.
And when I reach the next peak,
I’ll remember every tender moment
that carried me here.
Life is so expansive,
because there’s nothing we truly lack
when we choose to see
how abundant it already is.
Even waking up
to another day
is proof.
