Dear money, what would you have me know?

© Rachel Duncan, Jan 29 2025

 

Girl, I got you.

I will grow, I will impact,

I will support you

when you are resourced with me.

 

This work is not a hobby.

It is a vocation.

You are speaking the word of something bigger

That makes me feel good and sparkly.

 

I know I have a bad reputation.

But I've just been in the room when crappy things happen.

 

Remind yourself that I’m a tool.

And I want to work.

But I’m nothing without you.

 

But hold me close.

Spend me carefully. 

I love caring for you, and for people, and for causes.

Plug up the holes

so that I can support you and others completely.

Delight in my growth.

 

I love it when you get out the spreadsheet

and when you hold the tension

of sadness and excitement.

 

I wish you would charge more.

Equal me with your time.

Let me make this business with you!

 

I hold the pent-up dreams of your parents,

we've been tinkering, and making-do…

and now I want to ramp up with you.

 

Open doors for me

to surround you with safety.

I love it when we play.

 

I've always loved being close with you.

Growing as you have.

Learning as you have.

 

I don't have easy answers,

just more gates for more of me

to support more of you

and your work.

 

You make me happy.

We have so much in common,

we can both be patient and mindful,

we can sit and cultivate and grow,

and can act with brilliance,

and occasional abandon.

 

Let's work, let's reach, let's communicate.

Our power is in strong piercing clarity,

yet things sometimes feel cluttered.

 

I know it can be clear.

Let's take care of that today girl!

Would you schedule a time block

for the big stuff?

 

I want many good channels

and many places to land

that feel safe and secure

for me to rest and work and play

and just feel safe.

 

Help me feel safe.

 

Big hugs,

Money
