Taking a new format for these podcasts. Today I discuss the thoughts that precipitated the poem of the day:
Note to self:
People want what they want,
And some graciously give,
God bless them.
But when it comes to making a living,
It may be better me to focus on what others want
Not what I want. Sell them something
That they are already looking for.
And then use the surplus
To graciously give.
One day, the world will change
To an economy of gifts.
I look forward to that day.
But in the meantime, it’s a balance.
We work. We sell the people what they want.
And then we give of our surplus property.
It is an imperfect system.
But it works.
And perhaps we can use it as a tool
To shine a light on the coming world of gifts.
