Thoughts Today.
If generosity is not extended to everyone, it is not true generosity.
If compassion is not extended to everyone, it is not true compassion.
In no way do i claim to embody the highest understanding of generosity or compassion.
but i think this is what we are here for.
What is Love if not a spirit of generosity and a deep compassion towards all creatures?
What are we doing here if it is not learning how to Love?
this idea that life is a burden to bear, something to endure, until we die and finally can be happy and have peace is missing it completely.
We are in the joyous bliss of creation, it's glory permeating everything around us, seeping into every cell.
We are partaking in the wondrous dance of the cosmos, universe beyond universe beyond our understanding.
We are God expressing and experiencing, Himself.
(Herself, Itself--that doesn't matter either.)
We have the sacred opportunity to learn how to Love each other, and in doing so, God.

Generosity during life is a very different thing from generosity in the hour. To know when to be generous and when to be firm-this is wisdom. one should give where the gift bears great fruit. You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need. Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
