For some of us, the world appears to provide
only a fixed quantity of each resource -
a limited amount of food, of money,

For others, life is unlimited.

inventiveness, and service that they contribute.
In this world-view, money that is spent
or given away returns multiplied.

Trust in the Light.

not much money, but a rich you;
not many things, but an open being,
available to millions of things.
