prefer. no preference

Posted on by curioussteph

via Daily Prompt: Prefer

I prefer no preference be given to those who have enough and want more

Who am I to say or decide what is enough?

Scarcity is relative and insatiable.

If you don’t think you have enough, you won’t

As my wealthy, forever striving client replied when I asked

How much is enough?

There’s never been enough (money, food, stuff, respect) for him

He doesn’t believe there can be enough.

I prefer a different way.

I am enough, and I have enough

This is my great good fortune.

  3. First thought: “Enough” erupts from awareness of immortality, winds it way through insecurity (safety), anxiety (fear and trembling of the unknown), and ego’s dictums (do-do) and makes it’s way to the label of scarcity and desiccation. The “story” we agree to listen to over and over as we are dead to ourselves in life. Ghosts.

June 2017: I started writing Curioussteph.com with this: By day, I'm a retired family physician turned body-oriented psychotherapist. I garden, travel, am owned by 2 elderly cats, figure skate and am training for my first triathlon. April 2020: Three years later, the two elderly cats have crossed the rainbow bridge, and we now have an 11 year old adoptee, Ziggy. I'm done with triathlon and skating for the time being, and I am still physically active, running, biking and walking. It's now the time of the coronavirus, which is affecting us all.
