We often can be poor in "coins", but the ones I pity the most are those who are poor within their heart! The latter you will never be, J.H. What a caring poem, dear friend!

Hi Jasmin, Luther Standing Bear said "He loved the earth and all things of the earth.. He knew that man's heart away from nature becomes hard, he knew the lack of respect for growing, living things soon led to the lack of respect for humans too." You are man of intellect and intuition, my friend.

In Spirit,
Bear

Shouldn't the poor be called poor because the lack of material things, but for the lack of spiritual guidance and fortitude. I have seen men in rags happily smiling and rich men crying of despondence.

Jasmin,
I can see clearly the great empathetic heart that is yours, you identify with the suffering of the underdogs of the world and I admire and praise you for it.

Generosity comes from the heart and is a valued gift to share and be shared with all, such sincere words and thoughts....

Be always safe,

I sometimes think I am poor, but when I see people from other countries, some of the African countries to be sure, & I look at my world and realize that I am so much better off than I sometimes think...e

Something about doing without, maybe being hungry when you can't get food, raises your awareness level, doesn't it, Jasmin? Seems like the more aware you are, the more charged with responsibility you are, and I see you that way. Glad you rode through Henry's dream a ways with me. It would be wrong not to point out there's something wrong with it---right? By the way, I know my ancestry, I'm a human mutt--English x German x Scottish x French-Belgian--no wonder I'm always struggling with myself. Keep on being generous, my friend....Jerry
