Jade Green

Jade green pools reflect my soul.

Around them waves of red-gold fire dance.

They cascade over alabaster bluffs and flow toward the valley of life.

The sun comes out and warms me.

Red rose petals part and invite, I draw near and crush sweet nectar from them.

Soft willow limbs embrace and hold me close.

Entwined, two now one.

I breathe deep, contentment.

Bliss, Bliss, Bliss.

I am home.

Do you have a competitive or creative spirit?

Before you answer consider this:

Most of you have seen the Daffy Duck cartoon where he finds a ton of gold in a cave and wants it all. He’s screaming “mine! mine! mine! go! go! go! it’s all mine!”  He has more gold than he can possibly use, yet, he won’t share.  His limitless supply to him seems to have limits.  He won’t share the opportunity for better things with anyone, his only focus being lack, need, and want.  This is the competitive spirit.  And we all know how it worked out for the Duck!  The competitive spirit is only concerned with getting theirs, or, “I’ll get them before they get me.”  The competitive spirit creates opportunity only for themselves.
