We don’t need another cliché*

Clichés grow in the barren mind of the lazy writer. … Create a story that only you could write.**
Robert McKee

This isn’t
hyper-individuality;
it’s about every one of us needing to know that
we are capable of exploring a different life through
humility and
generosity and
faithfulness –
Your unique beauty.

*Soundtrack for today from Tina Turner;

We go to a place of abundance

Because it’s not for you. It’s for them. Generosity unlocks doors inside of us.*
Seth Godin

In reality, the secret is simple. When the heart is aligned with its eternal image, abundance cascades forth from that place of origin, infinitely more powerful than the scarcity and constriction of the world.**
Cynthia Borgeault

Do you find your way to your place of abundance at the
beginning of the day –
Whether for a free moments or longer?
I go to the words of others:
My “blog tribe” folder of posts –
Containing almost 400 blogs,
Freely given by a host of people I mostly do not know;
I’m waiting for a number of books to arrive,
Second-hand and costing a £few
but rich with ideas that are new to me;
And ancient scriptures, familiar and
always unfamiliar.
Your abundance may be quite different:
A reflective walk,
Holding a generous thought,
Being still with a beautiful piece of music …
The generosity of others provides us with an abundance
out of which we shape a generous day.
