Growing Awareness

All well to 

Embrace 

A

Modicum of humility

Whereby one

Might consider themselves

A "small fish in a

Big pond.."

Would it continue

To be considered

Humble...

If 

The fish

Was so well

Fed 

That it 

Has entirely 

Outgrown 

The pond?

Wouldn't that

Be like

Confining an Orca

To a swimming pool?

At some point

Would the bare

Essentials 

Necessary to provide

Life support

Be rendered inadequate

Suffocating

To 

Heart & soul?

How much 

Of the pond

Truly exists externally 

To the fish?

What portion 

Held as

 A mental construct

Reducing

A potential ocean

To a pond?

Did nature

Not intend

That fish swim

Orcas migrate

& 

Have free reign

Across the entire ocean

Birds fly

What is it

Then

That distinguishes:

To survive

To be alive

To Thrive?
