Happiness in the Less

A vessel doesn’t crave to be filled to the brim,  
But rather to have just enough to support its weight,
Happiness isn't found in overflowing, stained drums,  
Nor in a shapeless, stuffed bag,
Instead, it comes from having less, which gives the vessel its form  
And allows the soul to embrace the Light.
