Year of the Earth Pig 2019
What counts as riches?
money garnered from the labors
of others? A wall?
The breath of wings, air, trees, this
rhythmic ebb and flow, these tides
I couldn’t really get a feel for the Year of the Pig, except that it comes with the idea of wealth, which can be negative (greed) or positive (hard work). But I think we perhaps need to begin with a different idea of wealth.
Your collaged pig and words are certainly a truth of our nation.

I agree! Wealth equates to abundance (doesn’t it?) Abundance comes in many forms – love, friends, blessings, all that I already have is enough. Gratitude is spiritual wealth.

Yes, a new wealth called abundance. An abundance of love, generosity, compassion, forgiveness, and friendship. Happy year of the Pig. 🙂

Your collaged pig (which I love) seems to be a combination of all the things you said.
Perhaps we will have a wealth of new ideas–and new people–to kick out the greed.
