perhaps

the greatest gift
perhaps
is the gift of time.

the time that
listens
like silent dewdrops.

the time that
fathoms
fragile unborn nuances.

the time that
whispers
soothing comforting words.

the time that
just stands by
and says i am there.

easier

it is easier
to give
of our
abundance
unto others
than
to receive.

for
when we
receive
we concede
that we need
the blessings
the abundance.

for
to receive
we have to
scan the skies
open ourselves
to the gentle showers
of Abundant Grace.

but
how can
we give
unless
we receive?

treasures

the gifts of

trust
thought
energy
empathy
time
care
laughter
happiness

that we receive
unquestioned
that we give
unasked.

darkness

can be so
comforting
soothing
blue
deep blue
blue black
clouds of
nothingness
floating into
nothingness
unending
infinite
darkness
all around
soft
soothing
darkness...

but why do the stars blink?

Net Worth

Alien and Ignoramus

“Ignoramus, what is this ‘Net Worth’?”

“Al, Net Worth is total assets minus total liabilities. It is the total amount of money you posses; all your money in the bank, the money value of your properties, your valuable possessions.”

“What is your net worth?”

“Oh well, it is somewhere in the middle. There are many people who possess less than me and many who possess much more.”, said Ignoramus in a small voice.

“And my net worth is zero!” the Alien laughed loudly.

“Silly Ignoramus! Your net worth is not all that you possess. It all that you give. Your net worth is the number of people you reach in a positive way. Net Worth is total positive thoughts, emotions, actions minus total negative thoughts, emotions and actions.”
