The Art of Giving

The Art of Giving

let us study the art of giving as a new way of living
and play it forward
let us bring to our neighbour something to savour
gifted not borrowed

the art of giving is sparked in the heart
an awareness of suffering, a desire to uplift
taking action to help others
or giving an anonymous gift
celebrating a life

can we mindfully live with the desire to give
and seek the opportunities daily?
can we share our abundance, our wealth of knowledge?
what we’ve acquired of value from this lifetime’s college?

a lending hand, an ear to listen
can we organize a drive for someone deprived
of the necessities of life
and what are they?

water, food, shelter and clothing are often quoted
love and friendship, peace and respect have been promoted
we can see the needs, the opportunities to give
to give of ourselves so others may live
cherished and cared for

let us seek within and expose our whole being to the art of giving
let us seek to become artists in the form
of generosity born
and give

Mobilize

Mobilize

mobilize the directorate of all that will become
shaping the future from the sum of the sum of the sum
matching and pairing the ones who are the twins
wholeness and balance is where newness begins

majority not conformity weights decisions made
changes come to the offing where attention is paid
specialty endeavours will help to tip the scales
creating such magnificence that all the past soon pales

why now the importance of stepping to the plate?
sleep and rest and quietude has helped us all equate
change is in the offing and the opportunity is now
gather the equiforces for we are all at the bow

Personify

Personify

personify the sacredness of the life you have been given
aspects of the holiness that cannot be hidden
prioritize the generation of the love that wants to share
and always, always, walk your days aware

emphasize the choices that are inclusive in their ways
marginalize the distractions that hold life purposes at bay
quantumize with others for location matters not
minimize the importance of all that can be bought

personify the qualities of what you hold in high esteem
choose teachers, role models who walk their talk as being
modify the callings, those pulls, to focus on a few
the joy of achievement will be yours if you do

personify the sacredness of this journey taken
you and many others are being called to awaken
a unity of purpose, a passion to become
a new expression of being human
our work has just begun
