Day 30. Abundance

“Abundance” 6×6 in oil on canvas, framed

How interesting it is that we usually think of abundance only in terms of how big or small our home is, what kind of car we drive, how much we’ve saved for the kids to go to college. When I zoom out, I can see that even if I lived in the world’s largest mansion, it would be itty bitty compared to the mountain range it might overlook. So for today, the almost last day in this month, may the impartial abundance that is your birthright, find you. 

 

Abundance

 

When each day crawls 

out of its own darkness

With orange and purple sighs

When dew hangs perfectly 

round on a blade of grass

And we give names to birds 

With words like

Great, splendid, lilac-breasted,

Red-crowned

 

When green appears suddenly 

from a crack in the pavement

Or the orchid you forgot to water

Decides to bloom anyway

And what you once thought

Gives way to something more true, 

More beautiful, more whole

 

Abundance calls in the throaty bark

Of the heron overhead

Over and over announcing

Your place in all

This plentitude
