More Than Enough (Poem)

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Guest Post by Gloria Lionz

This poem announced itself with three short words – “more than enough.” When that phrase landed I stopped everything, sat down, and listened for the “rest of the story.”

Perhaps the reader is familiar with similar feelings; the creative opening that appears where one chooses a response designed to provide pragmatic insight and the dynamic flow of creative empowerment. 

I invite you to “listen” then celebrate this age old truth: when we’re aligned with love each of us automatically realizes we are “more than enough.”

More than enough
It all starts with you
Not the you “on a good day”
Or the you “dressed in your best clothes”
Not the you ‘who’s in the mood”

Nope, the only way anyone gets there
Is when they decide to “act like it”
When they realize, even in a dismal moment
There’s always more than enough

Enough what?
Enough time
Enough generosity
Enough peace
Enough love

But how do you find “Enough?”
Not by looking outward
That will never satiate any craving
It’s impossible.
Why?
Because ‘there’ you’re stuck comparing

God does not compare you to another
It sees each us as the beautiful Soul we are
It knows us as the one who has come before
The one who is going to go on and on and on

Which brings me to the topic of heaven
Is there such a place?
If there is, what purpose does it serve?
Similar to earth (with less friction)

So, what’s the purpose of being human?
To be the beauty we search for
To integrate the wisdom Source reveals
To recognize we were NEVER our STUFF
We’re echoes of God’s laughter and largess

You’re invited to reside in “More than Enough”
No need to see, hold or possess it
Yet once you accept it’s there, you’ll find you volunteered to recall you are More than Enough!
