Too Much Enough

He says, on the buffet line,
especially those really big
ones, like in
Las Vegas,
"My eyes are bigger than
my stomach!"
as he carries
a plate piled
high with food.

She says, as she looks
at her smartphone
calendar
filled with tiny colored
boxes
every day,
"There's not enough time
in the day!"

I say, as I look at
all the "balls in the
air" of my
life,
"I trust you, Spirit."

At once, we say,
"Enough, I can't take
any more!"
And yet we challenge
ourselves to
open and receive more.

That is the crux of it,
isn't it?

In order to receive what
we want in life
we have to first welcome in
what already is.
And, sometimes it seems to be
too much.
Or, not
what we want...
precisely.
Or, all  the
"challenges"
without reward.
Or, or, or.....

Or, just too much.

Too much pain,
too much hardship,
too much challenge
too much love...

wait, really?

too much love?

Perhaps yes.
Maybe, no.

Whatever it is,
is it really too much...
more than we can eat,
than we can fill in the
day
or keep in the air
at once.
What is 'too much', really?

I say, "I accept the
challenge."
because
it seems to be the
only way through.

In the face of too much
supposedly
undesirable stuff
I still want more
of something.

And so I say,
"Bring it on, world!
I can handle it!"
Because, that message
is what says:
"I'm finally ready
to fully receive
deeply
my desire."
