MORE  OR  LESS?

More or less? Are they

two different bottom lines?

Are there more people who want more

and less people who want less?

If someone asked, what would you

want more of, what would you answer?

If someone asked, what would you

want less of, what would you answer?

More honesty, more transparency,

more giving, more generosity?

Less selfishness, me, me, meism,

less digs and dissing each other?

More or less? If you had a nickname,

would it be more or less?

THERE ARE 
TERM LIMITATIONS

Ripped t-shirt ...

Hole in sock ...

Cut on left hand ...

Ache in right knee ...

Itch on both ears ....

Time doesn't stop,
it keeps inching forwards,

even if I can’t find the right

battery for my watch ….

BEGETS AND BEGOTS

Anger begets anger,

Nasty begets nasty,

Cursing begets cursing,

Screaming begets screaming,

Unforgiving begets unforgiving,

Rock throwing begets throwing rocks,

Killing begets killing,

An eye for an eye begets blindness….

Begets beget be-gotchas.

Kindness begets kindness,

Love begets love,

Caring begets caring,

Generosity begets generosity,

Giving begets giving,

Tenderness begets tenderness,

Courage begets courage,

Good example begets seeing good example,

Begets beget becoming greater.

Thought for today:


“The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach."
