Giving Thanks
Gratitude,
the simple and profound feeling of being thankful, is the foundation of
all generosity. I am generous when I believe that right now, right
here, in this form and this place, I am myself being given what I need.
Generosity requires that we relinquish something, and this is impossible
if we are not glad for what we have.
