Trading my more for less has become my obsession.
Bartering possessions in exchange for time,
freedom from dusting and adjusting,
from choosing between things over people,
the race to keep pace
with societal expectations
of status and wealth.
Less of more
is what I desire
to claim
the clarity,
stillness,
and peace
of just being
so I may
understand
at last
the more
of
Zen.
