Giving and Receiving

A deep dive into how and why we give and receive. Based on a poem i wrote, called the Begging Bowl. I do a meditation with an exercise on how to receive more light and love

how do we serve and give

how do we find a way

the share more in how we live

 

there are so very many

 empty begging bowls

asking for us to help

and feed a starving soul

 

there will always be

those who are hungry

with call to feed those

who are in great need

 

there are many empty begging bowls

and many whose bowls are full

what can we do to give

something to help the whole

 

sometimes it’s a small gift

an act of kindness

that makes the world

a better place to live 

 

we all have needs to feed

we all have gifts to share

it’s nice to see the give and take

find a way to show we care

 

empty begging bowls

can be a chalice

and become an offering  

a chance to share our blessings

For when we empty our bowl

more can be received
