This is Enough

This is enough,
and I don’t need to add anything to it
to make it feel complete.
I don’t widen the frame
or hold space open
just in case something arrives.

I stay with what’s here
without asking it to become more,
and I don’t mistake restraint
for something that needs fixing.

I’ve measured what I can manage
without pushing past it,
and I don’t adjust the numbers
to make them look better on paper.

What fits inside the limits
keeps moving,
what doesn’t
waits outside without explanation.

This is enough.
This still works.

Most days begin the same way,
not because I’m careful,
but because repetition
costs less than improvisation.

I don’t prepare for outcomes
I don’t intend to follow,
and I don’t build room
for contingencies I won’t use.

If something asks for more attention
than I can give it,
I leave it unchanged
and let that be noticeable.

Nothing improves by being stretched,
nothing stabilises by expanding,
and nothing becomes clearer
once it’s pushed past its limit.

This is enough.
This still works.

I don’t save energy for later
by spending it now,
and I don’t borrow from tomorrow
to make today feel lighter.

What remains usable
stays active,
what isn’t
is left where it stops working.
