Day 255: Infinite

∴

there are some resources
that are infinite in human nature.

you cannot run out

no matter how much
you use
or give
or misplace them
in the “wrong” depository:

 

patience

(even though we keep saying we’re out of it.)

 

kindness

(though we too often wait to get it
before we give it freely.)

 

understanding

(it is a deep well,
though we rest on its plateaus
and think we’ve hit bottom.)

 

love

(you can keep on giving it and,
like a womb,
it widens and stretches
and grows living things.)

 

but there are other resources that are finite,

 

like time.

 

there is only so much of that.

in our days

in our weeks

in our years

in our life

in Our Life

·

for my part,
i think i’d be a happier person
if i spent more time
giving my infinite resources
so freely
that the finite
felt more free.
