Would I be More...

Would I be a better person if I were doing this in California or Central Park right now?

Would I Be more loving, more beautiful of a soul, if I were in San Diego, Palo Alto, or NYC?

Would I be more loved by God,
Would I be more worthy,
More purposeful,

Would I matter more if I lived in California, NYC or somewhere else
Would I be more if I were a PhD, spoke several more languages and had several additional certifications
If I were trekking rain forests, walking amongst sand dunes, visiting the villages of foreign lands
Would I be more deserving of compassion, blessings, and grace
more deserving of freedom, peace and joy
if I ate less 'bad' foods, did more 'good' deeds and wrote a book
if I could paint a better picture, and develop my photography
would I be more

No

I would not even be more unique, more of an individual, in any of those places, doing any of these things
It does not work that way
YOU COULD NOT BE MORE
You could not BE more
You could not be more
loved by God
more worthy of being
in any one place over another

You could not be MORE spectacular of a soul
magnificent of a manifestation
by doing one thing over another

At the level of love - there is no MORE
At the level of soul - there is only WHOLE
The details are ours to toil and torment with
The attempt to define as anything other than DIVINE
is our mistake to make

You could not be more
It is
that
Simple.
