Kind seasons train my hands while some shelves are full, teaching me my most careful steps, Kind seasons train my pace to each steady steps, not choosing sprints for any untrue praise, Kind seasons train me to mend, to borrow less, to thank more, to breathe slowly, and save more, Kind seasons train me to hold my heart into calm when prices rise and talk grows sharper…
Unfilled tables guide me to share silence and warm bread without showing or bragging, Unfilled tables guide hunger toward our basic needs, clean water to wash hands, warm simple soup, a time to eat slowly and clean up, Unfilled tables guide my eyes to my true trusted friends in my whole lifetime not ones who are just temporary, Unfilled tables guide my spirit to sit humbly, eat with just enough, while you still sing thanks…
Fewer and lesser pockets but the mind is full from doors that you never needed to guard, Fewer and lesser hours were once spent chasing favors, lost passes, and empty seats, Fewer and free will to choose small paths I can afford and keep inspired and valued, Fewer and free shoulders that can guard me back, longing for true cherished connections…
Before lean years arrive, I practice loss while I’m still safe to move, so fear won’t finds me untrained, Before lean years arrive, I live with less to learn that I can live through hard days too, Before lean years arrive, I set enough budget, cancel extra wants, and still welcome plain, honest days, Before lean years arrive, I try to tolerate those cold showers and quiet rooms to toughen my inner spirit too, Before lean years arrive, I keep my own pace to the fullest, keep my own peace at bay, but at the same time keep my soul awake…
Watchwords: • One must live below means • Choose smaller but valued rooms • Wear your purpose daily • Practice more while it’s still safe • As you keep pace, keep your peace at bay
Here is Tikatarot, who dares you to answer the question, “Who am I?”..
As and will always be reminding you to dream:
“As you are still the Master of your destiny and the maker of your dreams…”
