Giving

Go into the world, my friend,

And take with you our gifts.

We give you Love,

We give you truth,

We give you light.

These are the coins of spirit.

Fill you heart and mind

And spend them well

The more is spent the more received.

There are those who need them in your world

There is the spirit clothed in beggar’s clothes

The lonely and distressed

Strangers, neighbours, friend and foes.

You may not understand them

You may not like their face

You may not like their dress

But it is not yours to judge.

You only see the shell, the body.

Their spirit struggling to the light

You do not see.

So spend the coin of spirit

Open your heart and mind

And let these blessings flow.
