A Free Lunch

...is what feeds everyone.

Don’t try to tell me
there’s no free lunch.
Nearly everyone’s first meal
flows freely and lovingly
through their mother’s breast.

The price you will pay
for your one and precious life
goes beyond the coin of the realm,
beyond your blood, sweat and tears,
way beyond what you understand
to be your life’s objective.

Give with the grace and generosity
Mother Earth gives to you.

Allow the life flowing through you
to pass without exacting a toll.

What you will find worth keeping
moves freely all around you.

And don’t ever forget,
the only limitation in life
is your absolute knowing.
