Greed

"The greedy one gathered all the cherries, while the simple one tasted all the cherries in one." Mark Nepo

I had a shift in perception in reading Mark Nepo's description of greed.  There have been many times in my life where I have wanted to be in two places at the same time; sort of torn between attending two different events.  Mark Nepo says that is greed.  He explains that to want to be in two places at once is to want to experience more than is humanly possible.  When we feel behind, left out, less than, he says that is a form of greed and lack.  Better instead is to accept and be fully present for this moment.  To stop "racing through life with one eye on what we have and one eye on what we don't (have)."  How can we be satisfied with this one life we have? - which at the present time consists of providing caregiving.  How can we feel that this is 'enough'?
