“The Poverty of Perception”

Some people are so poor in spirit that the only things they know how to value
are money and material possessions.
They walk through life weighed down by what they can count,
yet untouched by what truly counts.
The intricacies of human connection
the shift in a voice, the warmth in a pause,
the quiet honesty in body language
all of it is invisible to them.
To such minds, communication is not a language…
it’s quantum physics.
A mystery they stand in front of, but never understand.
For wealth is not measured in currency,
but in perception
in awareness, presence, and the ability to feel beyond oneself.
Some people are rich and don’t even know it.
Others are poor, and their souls confess it long before their wallets do.
A Reflection from the SIMU Collection.
