and then accept whatever Spirit provides,
we live a life of purpose and joy.

provide peace for another.
- Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama
For some of us, the world appears to provide
only a fixed quantity of each resource -
a limited amount of food, of money,
of love, of success, of appreciation.
For others, life is unlimited.
Their world expands with the generosity, compassion,
inventiveness, and service that they contribute.
In this world-view, money that is spent
or given away returns multiplied.
