The teachings and reflection this week focussed our attention on the topic of giving and generosity.
The group looked at the poetry of Kahlil Gribran, specifically a work entitled "The Prophet" and the section pertaining to the rich man asking the prophet on 'giving'.
there was robust discussion on the mindfulness of giving and whether our giving can harm or benefit those around us.
We also explored our personal talents and gifts and what we have been given and how we can share those talents and gifts with others. A theme emerged during reflection and it tied in surprisingly with the powerpoint presentation that was viewed.
Next session the theme of giving and generosity is further explored. The group values all sharing of knowledge and experience and we welcome new members to join us to share our growth in wisdom.

Hi Ann,
You have outlined the topic of giving and geneosity quite well.
I have found that giving and
generosity (G&G) is not as straigt
forward as I thought...
What wisdom I have taken away, is that the gifts we all have is what
we also need to share with others
Therfore, what we give is not only
objects, but the giving of ouselves
