More

More.
I want 
more time,
more done in my day,
more kilometres walked and biked,
more dessert,
another movie that I enjoyed as much as the last one,
more kudos, wins, meaningful prayer times,
as if more of anything
would make me happier.

Then I spend six days outside
by the sea
among the trees, caterpillars, birds and rabbits
exploring the beauty of the earth 
eating what’s been harvested
playing 
and sitting in the silence of the morning
enjoying
one moment after another with my honey.

For six days I am literally in You,
living, moving and having my being
loved,
receiving far more than I could hope for or imagine.

I have more than enough.

The only thing I want
is to say,
Thank You.

In him, we live and move and have our being.
–Acts 28:17
