Twenty First Poetry Post: Back to Basics

Came to be harvested, used
Feeding all aspects

All life forms could eat
With abundance provided
Only if all shared

Hoarding is just fear
Stand back, there is plenty there
Balance is the key

These freedoms also allow and invite us to deeply value who we are as ourselves.  When our sense of self-value and self-worth are strong enough, consistent enough, applied often enough, we begin to heal on the most fundamental and spiritual levels. The world may not have reflected value or worth in us as we are because of the structure of life and what most people believe is inherently human.  We all tend to follow the footsteps of those who came before us and consequently, we feel safer and more secure doing what we saw
