Offerings

23 Jun

Luke 6:27-38 is just another way of speaking Karma.

Your offerings, whatever your intentions, will always in some way come home to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.

In a world where you can be anything, be compassionate.

Art is both love and friendship, and understanding; the desire to give. It is not charity, which is the giving of things, it is more than kindness which is the giving of self. It is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit. It is the recreation on another plane of the realities of the world; the tragic and wonderful realities of earth and men, and of all the inter-relations of these.
— Ansel Adams, June 10, 1937
