Are you filling up
when you could be
emptying out?
Are you gathering
when you could be giving?
Are you stowing
when you could be flowing?
To save and to hold
is to energize the belief
that there might come a time
when nothing more comes.
And so it seems possible.
In your abundance,
you manifest the illusion
of scarcity.

Emptiness and Fullness
At the heart of the cosmos, there’s a dance between emptiness and fullness. A delicate balance, a tug of war, a whimsical ballet of give and take.
The Dichotomy of Gathering
While it is in our nature to gather, sometimes, in the act of collecting, we forget the joy of releasing. We become accumulators, guardians of treasures, when perhaps the universe beckons us to be distributors, sharers of bounty.
The Paradox of Abundance
Ironically, in our quest to amass, we might be sowing the seeds of lack. By hoarding, we inadvertently strengthen the chains of scarcity, binding us to a fear of potential emptiness.
The Flow of the Cosmic River
Life, much like a river, is in constant flux. It thrives when it flows freely. When we try to dam its course, stagnation sets in. The essence of true abundance lies not in possession, but in the freedom of flow.
Manifestation of Illusion
Our mindset shapes our reality. When we clutch tightly to what we have, fearing loss, we might inadvertently manifest the very scarcity we fear. Abundance is not just about having, but also about letting go.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
Abundance is not merely the accumulation of material wealth, but the free flow of giving, receiving, and letting go. Holding too tightly can manifest an illusion of scarcity, even amidst plenty. True abundance thrives in the balance of emptiness and fullness.

“Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.”
— Will Rogers
In a universe of endless bounty,
Why do we clutch, with such mounting anxiety?
Abundance is not in the keeping,
But in the flow, the gentle weeping
Of letting go and in the knowing,
That true wealth is in the sowing.
