Peace and Plenty

I used to have a placard that said Peace and Plenty, which hung in my living room. I liked it because it reflected who I am to myself in the world. Peaceful, and with plenty. Anything extra would be clutter.

Most days I don’t want for anything. Oh, I suppose I long for things, or pine for them, and then I have a short and wistful daydream about what it would be like to have a thousand a week coming in, or wutever …then I set the timer for 25 minutes and get back to my next task.

I live in the area, too, and stumbled upon you via the net. Reading some of your posts. . .man, it puts it in perspective. I’ve got the summer off, a good teaching gig, a beautiful toddler, will soon be divorced, fighting over the kid, the house, whose fault it all was. I wish I could buy some peace off of you. But it is so satisfying seeing someone so free, partly because I’m just happy for you but also because it means it could exist for me, too, at some point. At least more of it. Keep it up and know I’ll spread the word.
