Enough

Enough.  How do we know?  What does it look like?  Does it have a sound?  What about a smell?  How does it feel?  How do we recognize enough?  Good enough.  Rich enough.  Skinny enough.  Pretty enough.  Far enough.  Fast enough.  How do we know when to say when?  Fear and the never ending cycle of trying to get ahead means gathering more than enough.  Stockpiling, just in case.  We call it saving for a rainy day.  We assume more is better.  But when does it become a sickness?  Not enough is undeniably not good.  It’s certainly insufficient.  It can even be lethal.  But too much can also be as harmful.  Human animals are the only living beings that take more than we need.  Wolves don’t kill all of the rabbits.  Just enough to keep them fed.   Human business models built on never ending growth are always eventually unsustainable.  Living cells that abnormally divide more than enough is cancer.  Never enough is destructive.  A trap that many get caught in.  A black hole that swallows us whole.  A disease.  An infectious illness that is wreaking havoc on our health and on our planet.  Enough requires patience.  Enough requires self-restraint.  Enough comes from a place of love.  If we love each other and feel like we have each other’s back, there is no need to save for that rainy day.  You are already enough just the way that you are.  Enough is your wealth.  Are you tapping into it?  In the end, enough will simply always be.  Enough.
