Grasping, greed, Generosity, and joy

With good intentions and white knuckles, I have tried harder and more times than I can count to get it right.

My greed is not the type that you can see in the car that I drive or the clothes that I wear. I don't grasp for material possessions or status. Yet my greed and grasping keep me small by limiting my reality to what I can understand and influence.

Today I learn to exhale not by force but by faith A door closes and a window opens Generosity and joy begin to flow in on a soft quiet Holy Spirit breeze Finally their invitation was sent & received without pressure or expectation Welcome home

For too many years I have placed life's hourglass upon the foundation of grasping and greed Counting and measuring each precious moment Often even with gratitude Today I gently turn it over to rest in the generosity and joy of the present moment I start to lose count of time as it moves past me into the future And somehow find myself more present and aware than ever before

Where might you be operating from greed and grasping when you could be allowing joy and generosity?
