Wanting…
The more you chase,
the further it seems to run.
But, there is a secret, a word,
a state of being,
that dissolves this illusion, and unlocks
the hidden code,
in the paradox of wanting.
This word will trick the universe
into thinking you’ve already received
what you most want.
This word is - Gratitude.
Gratitude does not beg, it does not grasp,
it simply is.
It tells the universe, I have already received, and,
in doing so, it bends reality
in your favor,
drawing more and more
into your hands.
For the one who is grateful lives closest
to the source, aligned
with the great rhythm of existence.
Without it, you are but a beggar
at the gates of abundance,
blind to the riches already within you.
There are but two choices,
free will, you see.
Spend your days yearning, or
awaken to the truth,
that all you seek is already yours
if only you would see it.
