may all be well and want no more

be well – pay attention to what is, to direct experience,
to the miracle of being aware of being – and want no more

nothing less than our survival depends on wanting nothing more

may none want more than they need to be and let be, to live and let live,
and pay attention to what is, to direct experience, to being aware of being

may all be well and want no more
