Thoughts on giving

One with true virtue always seeks a way to give
One who lacks virtue always seeks a way to get
To the giver comes the fullness of life
to the taker just an empty hand

Tao 79

Who can offer an abundance to the world?
One who has Tao
Such a one can give like the heavens

Tao 77

In the end,
The treasure of life is missed by those who hold on
and gained by those who let go

Tao 75

Give like you own the world,
because you do.

All the beauty of spring, all the tenderness of babies, all the
sweetness of love is there for you. And me. And even for those we
dislike.

Do not forget the wonders of now. They await you. If you will notice
them.

Remember birds. Recall honeysuckle. Honor the fallen flowers. They
served honorably in the battle for your attention.
