To Shrink instead of Grow! Success comes from what you "let go" to downsize for a Tiny Home.
Most can not break free from the biggest things that become their anchors to the life they lead instead of one they want. When Material & Spiritual Worlds swirl as One, then living tiny can be fun.
What does it take to make a tiny organic house appear?
A dream to have one comes to rest inside the head when clear,
for someone tested by the thought,
to shrink instead of grow,
To be the best that they can be
before their time to go.
Some wonder at the transformation
only Wii can know.
For in living Tiny yet with style,
my youthful life still grows.
When friends think you have lost a screw,
to downsize, not get bigger too,
but in their horror, have no clue
instead if joining,
they’ll abandon you
and tell your tale at parties too.
Some have found they have been caught
inside the traps of what they bought
in debt and jobs that they once sought
and now see no escape.
School is done with lots of fun and loans to pave the way.
While told, not heard, and in a herd to college, most are swayed.
Not knowing, understanding, yet the price for what they’ve done
will haunt them till the day they die, pay it off, no longer fun.
Why not teach economics in the early grades to see
that the truth is college won’t ensure you’ll find riches on the way
through a life of working for UN corporations of the lands
who will rent you all you need through work, not owning anything…
dependent on the social scores to gain entry to the games.
Many say, “when I retire,
I will escape to the woods & flowers,”
but most will stay until too late
to leave their anchors & separate!
Trapped by habits, jobs, or debt,
their dreams get lost with great regret,
put down to rest till they forget
because nobody did protect
them from the banks,
they die in debt
so often times
with no respect.
Time does truly all deceive.
People think they’ll never leave
the moment they are doing well,
to see a dark or living Hell.
Few consider what is coming,
Caught up in what’s here to see,
or what they hear on their TV
is all they have for them to “Be”
what they are told makes them happy.
Buy more, have more, want more too,
if not, you’ll not have friends who view
your Tik Tok selfies, Instagram,
all the ways to be a ham and get attention
while you can until, smartphones go dumb.
