Bounty

I will not go hungering and begging

for what has always been mine,

for what I have

by virtue of my essence

I will not underestimate

the power of Life to meet my need

with what another needs to give.

I will be glad my need to give

is similarly met

This is my point of waking,

to be assiduous

but with no doubt behind it,

move forward generous

and free of fear,

cultivate humbleness

and a ready ear,

reap the bounty 

that’s always here.
