ABUNDANCE
Another poem by The crazy Colombian

A life of abun­dance.
Mate­r­ial Abun­dance:
to have the choices
to do what I want,
when I want,
for as long
as I want,
for the rest of my life

Spir­i­tual Abun­dance:
to give mean­ing
and pur­pose
to my every action
of my every day
of my every year
of my every life.

Phys­i­cal abun­dance:
to pro­vide a strong
and resilient
ves­sel for this
life I call mine,
and for the life
of those
that I cher­ish
and love.

Com­plete abun­dance:
Whole­some abun­dance.
Not waste­ful,
nor self­ish,
nor greedy abun­dance;
but abun­dance instead
that works in har­mony
to assist me in
cre­at­ing
the life
I was born to live.
