I wish you enough

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.  
I wish you enough rain to help you appreciate the sun more.
 
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
 
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all you possess.
 
I wish you enough hellos to get through the final goodbye.

  Interdependence - Interbeing - Ubuntu This moment is a confluence of previous moments, interactions and conversations. What happens "over there" doesn't stay "over there". What happens here ripples out. This is isn't some spiritual thing, but observed in many things like science, economics and climate awareness. May all beings be safe. May all beings be healthy. May all beings be happy. May all beings live with ease.
