I read somewhere once an analogy of supply and trees. I wrote it down because it made so much sense to me:
"In the autumn, the fruit on the trees is plucked, and the leaves drop away, but nobody is alarmed. Everyone knows that nature is at work, and that in a few months the leaves and the fruit will reappear. This we all know, but we fail to recognize the analogy between this cyclic activity of nature and our own supply."
That brings to mind kindness, thoughtfulness, patience, love...we each have an endless supply within us right this minute (else, where would we go to get it?). The deal is we have to get over our own self-concern in order to simply give that which we already have.
Gertrude treats you less than wonderfully...give her some of the kindness you have within you. Sam is being impatient with his world...give him some of the patience you have and aren't using. For...here's the miracle...that is how we get filled up with more of that which we've just given away!
Thank You.
