The less space one has,
With less things to clutter it...
To consume the mind in denial,
Leaves one with more life to live.

And in 'that' acceptance of a nothingness,
Others may perceive as an unbearable sacrifice...
One has 'everything' to experience and share.

Since those with points of view of materialsm,
Aren't there to busy a mind in peace.
To diminish happiness with expensive needs,
To qualify teased 'wants' delusioned.

Life then becomes such an abundant experience.
And receiving this to give as given,
Is a blessing to comprehend and acknowledge.

Lawrence S. Pertillar
