I am finding that divine abundance
Seems to come at the end of what I have, And that if I’ll wait and make do with my meager provisions, And refrain from thinking I need something I don’t have, That provisions will appear in the very last moment. Those provisions aren’t always what I want, But they are always enough if I choose To see them as such. And strangely, Trying to live this way Is removing my concerns about money. The money tends to stay in my pocket longer. It tends to be there when I need it, Because I am not constantly going out Spending it on something that I think I need. I’ll give you an example: citrus. I let myself run out of food. And a man appeared Who said, I have citrus trees. Come pick yourself some. And I did. And I ate citrus. And the money I would have spent stayed in my pocket. Another example from around the same time: Again, low on food, but with fields of lettuce all around. And the pickers leave 20% in the fields unpicked. And I arranged to take a few heads before they plowed them under. Now Citrus Salad…and so on. And the money stayed in my pocket. It was there when I needed it. I think that this is what old Ben Franklin called frugality, But with the twist of faith, the twist of believing That I can trust in unseen abundance At the end of my rope. And I can’t help but think that this is a powerful principle. It’s only taken me 48 years to find it. Hahaha
