Thanks and Giving
we celebrate this time of Thanksgiving
a time of the harvest, of abundance
a time to express our gratitude
for the All
that has brought this plentitude
in this giving of thanks
there is more to explore
perhaps to consider
the art of giving
the gift of a kind word
the offer of assistance
expressions of appreciation
encouragement for persistence
simple companionship
being there for another
giving a hug to our sister
and brother
sharing the humour
that crops up in life
being there to listen deeply
to friend, husband or wife
sharing our abundance in all forms
it feels so good to give
may we practice this as
our way live
our practice of love
