There's More Than Enough

There’s More Than Enough

And you’re welcome to have some. 
All you need in fact. Go ahead. 
There’s plenty of health and safety.
Even enough time and money. 
Not to mention art, beauty, knowledge,
Wisdom and peace. 
There’s just plenty to go around.
So take what you need,
Use it often and use it well,
Say thank you of course, 
And then be sure to share.   

Susan Patterson


Audio of There's More Than Enough


Discussion:

Not many people believe there is enough.  And we have reason for that.  Groups and individuals alike, are starving, some without enough water too.  Millions have no home in which to live.  I won't even go into mentioning those who do not have enough money for medication, education or even the bare necessities.  But like the spiritualist and writer, Marianne Williamson says, we make decisions based on fear and poverty, or conversely, we make decisions based on love and abundance.  Too often decisions, either personally or globally, are based on fear and poverty. 

I'm here to say that if we start thinking differently and look at our abundance differently there would be enough.  Of everything.  No, I'm not a socialist or communist.  I do not believe that government should take control of people's choices.  But I do think it is time to look at our collective lives through a new prism.  This poem is self explanatory.

A Question:

Where are you located?  As you may know,  I cannot determine the home country, state or town of my readers.  But I am curious.  I want to know.  The knowledge of where my readers are will give me a better idea of what material to put in Causerie.  I think that I have readers in Europe, Asia and even in the Mid East.  Is that true?  Would you be willing to list your location on the comment section of this Causerie or email to me Susan@EarleneGrey.com  Thank you!  skp

Shared Art from a Causerie Reader

This is a very enjoyable video sent to me by my friend, Maria.  She is a lover of art 
spanning the spectrum of ancient, classic and abstract.  Not only does Maria appreciate art, but she applies her knowledge and considerable talent to every aspect in her life.   

The Rijksmuseum in Holland had an idea: Let's bring the art to the people and then, hopefully, they will come to see more - at the museum.

They took one painting of Rembrandt from 1642 , Guards of the Night and  brought to life the characters in it, placed them in a busy mall and the rest you can see for yourself!

I am located in the Village of Kinver in the English West Midlands county of South Staffordshire. This has been the very best and most varied of the blogs so far. Congratulations on such a warm welcoming and hugely enjoyable blog.
Well done.

Hal,

How nice to hear from someone in the Radio Kinver audience! Thank you for reading and writing. Now, where are you located? I do not know. And, please let me know what you think of the next poem on the blog, "Ode to the Summer Sun." You may not enjoy that so much. (Winking here.) The poe is a little grumpy.
