True, soul full service springs from a deep well that must give; that must. Service in its pure essence is not dependent upon a recipient, does not need to know an outcome. Soul full service is an availability, without a question. Service, elevated and yet humbled, is a moving river that flows across hospitable or challenging terrain, nourishing, refreshing, bringing life to every thing it touches.
Mothers Day is just a couple of days away, a time to reflect on adults who serve others willingly, generously. I consider the availability of a mother, a father, to a child; the generosity of grandparents, the wisdom of aunties and uncles; their gifts given freely, soul fully, humbly, without desire for gain. Given because they must serve; they must. Because it is their essence, their depth, wisdom attained that is overflowing. A moving river bringing life.
Who are the people that you know who are rivers of service, flowing? Are you one? Consider my new poem, "sentry" for more thoughts about service.
Blessings be yours -
