The Definition of Wealth


Money is just paper and yet it affects the world like good music

Each day someone finds a new way to use it

When a loved one passes away for many the first question is about the will

I can't imagine the emptiness you feel

Empty, lack of depth, wondering what material object can make you worth-while next

Love, freedom, and being compassionate

All things that last a lifetime- you'll never forget

Being rich in expericience and spiritually in touch is what should fulfill you- make you feel that you're enough

Go out each night and count the stars, because they're shining just for you

Let the morning sun kiss your face, because she's been waiting all night to do so

Inhale each day

And when asked what you value in life you'll have so much more to say
