Today may we cultivate our Generous spirit.  Generosity is one of the simplest practices to adopt for it merely asks that we give of ourselves.  A smile, a listen, a helping hand, a compassionate shoulder – everything positive begins with small acts of generosity.  This practice is not transactional – there is no expectation of a service or certificate in return.  And yet this compassionate capital is the ultimate investment we can make in ourselves and each other, for by making generosity our daily practice we begin to change the world in all that we do.  May we generously bless the world, and find we are generous in our gratitude.  Blesséd Be, and Amen.
