A want of more
Than what one has
A little more of everything
And then some more
The stakes keep rising
For fame, name and wealth
For success must be achieved
No matter the consequence.
Such is the nature of life
Of curiosity wonder and awe.
Without wisdom of moderation
Wants continue to grow.
Greed and avarice
Raises its hood
Life turns material
And ripples of chaos reigns.
When ripples turn still
There is union in the being
From desire to contentment
Fulfillment in the realisation.
When wanting evolves to knowing
In understanding, all is within
Both the wants and the knowing.
Seeking sublimes in silent awareness.
Savvy
When I shared my verses on Life and living … https://savvyraj.com/2018/10/23/life-comes-a-full-circle/
There was a message from one of the readers that made me reflect and write on the very nature of ripples in life and living. From the chaos of change to the stillness of sublimity.

Thanks, my dear friend Savvy 🙂
The more people identify with material things and dead matter, the more they turn into dead matter…
Have a great time my friend.

Beautifully said. Greed and avarice are at the hear of discontent.
