I will not go hungering and begging
for what has always been mine,
for what I have
by virtue of my essence

I will not underestimate
the power of Life to meet my need
with what another needs to give.
I will be glad my need to give
is similarly met

This is my point of waking,
to be assiduous
but with no doubt behind it,
move forward generous
and free of fear,
cultivate humbleness
and a ready ear,
reap the bounty
that’s always here.
