The less space one has, <br />With less things to clutter it... <br />To consume the mind in denial, <br />Leaves one with more life to live. <br /> <br />And in 'that' acceptance of a nothingness, <br />Others may perceive as an unbearable sacrifice... <br />One has 'everything' to experience and share. <br /> <br />Since those with points of view of materialsm, <br />Aren't there to busy a mind in peace. <br />To diminish happiness with expensive needs, <br />To qualify teased 'wants' delusioned. <br /> <br />Life then becomes such an abundant experience. <br />And receiving this to give as given, <br />Is a blessing to comprehend and acknowledge.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
