Full Plate
By Don Iannone
At times,
blessings seem to come
too many at a time.
More than we can really handle.
We wonder why--
as though there is some mystery
to how our life comes to be.
Every intention we put foward
eventually manifests.
Not always exactly as the picture
initially projected by our soul,
but sure enough,
the intention comes into being.
Be careful what you wish for,
the genie may fill your plate.

Yep.
blessings are sincere words and wishes Don, shouldn't be too hard to handle. Living up to them is hard indeed.
as always, wonderful pearls of wisdom! Thanks, Don!
I really like this poem Don!
Wonderful!
Thank you!
I believe most of our wishes are unconscious wishes.
Scary isn't it?
Don, I had a time like that. Lot of initial problems but eventually things falling into place, somehow
so true. love it!
so true. we should be careful what we wish for. love this poem don.
Let the coming true begin!!!

Yep, funny thing appetite
Sometimes a full plate is not enough we still have room for more
Others a full plate is more than we can handle, we don't even have any room left for desert.
However in life a wise man will not take on too much or overfill his plate
And when life does throw too much on your plate, a wise man knows how to pick the best bits and leave the rest ...
It is not wise to scoff the lot, or to attempt to do more than one can, or has time for
Yes and again you are right...and yes, life is really simple once we learn to get beyond ourselves...there is always more than ourselves!!!!!
Don,
Great poem! Full plates, blessings, sometimes overflowing, yes.
Blessings of balance and gratitude.
True, when we let our soul speak within its supernal security, then things can manifest themselves, even when they perhaps for the moment don't picture themselves the way our nature still would see it happening.
After all, would Yaacov (Jacob) have anticipated his stay with Laban the way he in nature thought that it would probably happen once he departed from Beer-sheva to Charan, to Laban's house, the brother of Rebeccah, his father's wife, to find him a wife, begetting two wives instead, namely Rachel and Leah, not to mention the dream with the ladder he had in Beth-el?
I wonder!
To all, I give thanks. My blessings to each of you and may your plate overfill with love and kindness.
Just when you think, it's all bleak and dark, you plate is filled to hilt! I have felt it happening to me.
Thanks all for your comments.
