Possession in Great Measure
Fire high in heaven: abundance held with clarity and grace.
The sun at the sky’s height, illuminating everything it owns — abundance in its most gracious form. Possession in Great Measure describes real plenty accompanied by real clear-sightedness: wealth of position, resources or standing that has not clouded judgement. Its counsel is generous administration — curb what is coarse, promote what is excellent, and carry the fullness lightly. Plenty administered with modesty tends to keep; plenty flaunted invites the audit.
On wealth
Abundance favours careful curation: prune the coarse holdings, back the excellent ones, stay modest in style.
