To seek contexts in which to open
I promise to seek contexts in which I can open up in a way that is meaningful to the others nearby, not to force my point of view but to impart my self, to surrender up my self, to be generous.

Surrender and generosity
Surrender and generosity are the same being, just in different garb. To be generous, we need to give of our substance and essence, what we cannot afford. This is the definition of surrender. So our task in life is to give all of ourselves to the point where we receive all of ourselves. We cannot learn who we are save by giving up our clinging to who we thought we were. We are born in the interchange. If we stay a tight ball we stay small. Open and be large.
In my own life I see the need of sharing my soul work with those nearby on the path. Not to teach or recruit. To “impart as much as you can of your spiritual being” (Schweitzer).

Paying for what we cannot buy
We can pay for something
we cannot buy
that man could have become mayor
if he’d been willing to relinquish his anger
