Poem: Changes 41/Decrease

1
Increase and decrease
Come in their own time.

The lake at the foot of the mountain evaporates.
Its loss is the mountain's gain.

The lake is a symbol of passion:
It fills its hollow to the brim.

Without decreasing yourself,
You bring increase to others.

You fear nothing, because luck
Is ordained from on high.

You're God's boy, dispensing
A blessing to the whole world.

Every increase that comes to you
Benefits the whole.

In America, we call it
A win-win.

2
I donated a pint of blood today.
In three days

My body will replace the blood.
My loss is someone's gain.
