Learn to disavow need
and begin to practice
want needing anything needing
anyone is slavery not
freedom freedom expresses itself
by choice not need
Step away from needs
make do do without
with out isn’t scarcity
scarcity is a by-product
of need abundance is
the expression of want

Mango (for Bean)
And a brown skinned
lad wandered away from
his house and towards
his home leaving his
family to search for
that which he sought
A very specific mango
tree which stood precisely
where he’d planted it
To this brown skinned
lad this tree said
home more than any
other place for its
roots were indeed his
Candle
I’m not a boomerang
or even a canyon
nor even return postage
I don’t share myself
with others hoping for
any kind of return
What goes out stays
out like a candle
that once brightened those
closest to it that
led others to its
light and even those
farthest away might see
its flicker and think
There is something else
besides me in darkness
Less
I have finally learned
the lesson of less
Less is far better
than more ever is
Less is a blessing
it forces one to
be simpler to appreciate
and to be kind
Less is what I
imagine Heaven to be
A place of snowfall
of silence of calm
of sunshine and rain
of humanity and mindfulness
I have lived through
the lesson of more
More always wants more
more is a hellscape
an eternity of selfishness
Less lets things go
unnoticed and unwanted things
baggage and staggering burden
The lesson of less
isn’t one for fools
or fearful or frivolity
The lesson of less
is reserved for those
who are courageous capable
and strong committed to
living life with more
of almost everything importantly
impactful and essentially impossible
simply by accepting that
less is always more
LifePoints
At this point in your life, young man, you are accumulating: stories, experiences and things. At this point in my life, young man, I am discarding: stories, experiences and things. Your job is to live your life. My job is to remember, release and relax in order to float up to Heaven.
