Shift

Part I  
The Receiver  
*****************  
   
Being a receiver  
is easier than  
being a giver.  
   
When the world is properly understood  
everything comes in the right direction.  
   
It is impossible to think that  
I shouldn't simply sit back and enjoy.  
   
I am surrounded by stellar abundance.  
   
I am humbled by the fact that  
most of us are meant to be ordinary,  
   
there is something extraordinary when you unwind these facts.  
   
I am engulfed by passion  
leading to everyday repetitions
   
the desire to simply sip and nibble and burp  

 
I shouldn't ever feel  
longing for something more when everything is mine

Longing for something more when everything is mine  
I shouldn't ever feel  
the desire to simply sip and nibble and burp,  
leading to everyday repetitions.  
   
I am engulfed by passion.

is easier than  
being a receiver.
