Gift

Meditation Drawing 4.35 – Gift

We gift ourselves peace when we serve it with self-compassion.

We gift others peace when we serve it without judgement or evaluation.

We gift peace to those we do not even know all over the planet as we become aware of the multiple different conditions everyone is living under.

Our true gift is discernment.

It is the ability to gain knowledge and understanding of more experiences and points of view.

As we observe more, we are gifted with a greater sense of what is important in other world communities.

We begin to appreciate the gifts we live with on a daily basis.

We also begin to appreciate the better lives some others enjoy because of their different view from ours.

Societies and civilizations are organized according to their gifts.

There are cultural gifts and societal gifts.

There are gifts of physical endurance and gifts of craftmanship.

There are gifts of community and cooperation.

There are gifts of ritual and celebration.

We gain gifts of appreciation as we travel or learn from those who share their journeys.

I am especially appreciative of those who share their experiences via Youtube.

Adding to world understanding is an incomparable gift.

The down to earth experiences with real people in other countries speak with more relevance than the heightened drama of news cycles.

It is a gift to meet people just like us who live all over the world.

We can gain more from the point of view of their daily lives than anything else.

We all have so much in common with each other even though our language, clothing, food and traditions may be different.

I enjoy seeing this variety.

It reminds me of how universal our shared values of family are even in diverse circumstances.

This is the real gift.
