‘Need Nothing’ is a song about appreciating what you have instead of dwelling on what you don’t.

Gratitude is reinforced by frequent reminders and practice – upon slowing down and zooming in to a brief moment of contentedness, the ordinary can reveal itself as extraordinary.

.

No, I don’t need nothing,
no, nothing I don’t already hold.
O, whether tomorrow,
o, ever tomorrow uncontrolled.

One moment of deep repose—
a thick jungle of lawn between my toes,
a paper glider landing on my nose,
curling colors of a painted wing grow,

Until they fill they screen,
and draw me in
to a place unseen,
where I’ve always been,

To somewhere so serene,
complete within,
and evergreen.

When I want too much
of what I’ve missed
to be content
with what exists,
I must remind myself
to savor this wholeness.

No, I don’t need nothing,
no, nothing I don’t already hold.
O, whether tomorrow,
o, ever tomorrow uncontrolled.
