Own less, live more

The less I own, the more I live, 

No chains of things, just time to give. 

With every purchase, time was spent, 

On storing, mending, paying rent.

Possessions filled my space and mind, 

And left no room for time to find. 

No longer stuck with what I own, 

In hugs and games, my joy has grown.

For life is not in things we keep, 

But in the moments, rich and deep. 

The less I own, the more I see, 

The beauty of simplicity.

Leaders AND Managers

 She pointed, “Let’s go up the hill,” 

He mapped out each step with a skill. 

Her dreams were so bright, 

His plans just right, 

Together, they followed their will.

Nothing is lost in eternity

 In cosmic threads, where stars are bound, 

In ancient lore, where myths are crowned, 

In fleeting dreams, where hopes are wound, 

In endless time, all truths are found.

In the smothering gloom

 

Forms are metaphors

 

Math is a language, clear and bright, 

Describing forms in black and white. 

It's not the rule, but just a way, 

To see how bits and pieces play.

In every shape, in every line, 

Math shows the patterns, so combined. 

It's not magic, it's not odd, 

Just the cosmos, in a nod.

With numbers, we can see the ties, 

In every form, in every size. 

Math's one tool, one guiding light, 

To understand the whole delight.

What of constitutional responsibilities?

 

Is even a valid idea to put Maslow's Hierarchy next to our Constitution and compare them?

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 25) states that everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for their health and well-being, which includes food, clothing, housing, and medical care.  It also emphasizes the right to necessary social services and security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age, or other circumstances beyond one’s control.

Our constitution is long on rights, but short on responsibilities.  And thus we will eventually fail it.
