We're generous:
by our very nature we're generous, each cell devoted completely to its particular function, our organs working for the benefit of the whole system, how the heart pumps blood throughout the entire body without concern of ever running empty. Even our breath returns itself to air, with every exhale providing carbon dioxide for trees and plants to use in respiration. We are designed to be giving, composed of elements created by dying stars and particles that came to existence just moments after the Big Bang's initial expansion, we're universal, made of recycled parts, and will again be used by nature.
and none of this is a conscious decision.
it's simply what we are.
we're generous.
yet also, we're forgetful of our nature, not always remembering our true generosity of spirit, or how we really function for the benefit of the world. We've come to believe that we're separate from each other, from our environment, and that it's somehow best to look after our concerns alone. It's a false notion, a selfish fiction, denying that by our very nature - we're generous, built entirely for giving. The whole purpose of any spiritual practice is to remember what we are, returning ourselves to service just be relaxing as our original nature, no conscious effort needed.
it's what we are.
generous by our very nature.
