Reflections on Giving and Charity – December 4, 2014

single moments
compacted in the finite
giving to others

a child’s face
generous and jubilant
free giver of smiles

neglected sadness
uplifting the other
charity brings peace

(c) G.s.k. ’14

“For Carpe Diem’s Tackle it Tuesday, we are at step 16 in the Path of 18 “Ities” – Charity:

 

“Give, give and give. This is the secret of abundance. Radiate thoughts of goodness and love. Forgive the faults of others. Bless the man who injures you. Share what you have with others. Disseminate spiritual knowledge to one and all. Use the material wealth, knowledge and spiritual wisdom that you possess as a divine trust.”

and for Haiku Horizons this week we have  – Give … a fine coincidence.  I started writing a post for Wordless Wednesday but obviously the other two prompts had somehow gotten “stuck” in my brain so the haiku I wrote all went towards giving and charity. Therefore I’m linking this post to all three prompts today ….
