Thoughts for a Thursday

Most mornings I read the daily meditation that comes from the Centre for Action and Contemplation. This morning's carried a beautiful reflection from the thoughts of activist and mystic, Rosemarie Freeney Harding:

There is no scarcity. There is no

An abundance of roses on a single stem

shortage. No lack of love,

of compassion, of joy in the world.

There is enough.

There is more than enough.

Only fear and greed make us think 

otherwise.

No one need starve. There is enough 

land and enough food.

No one need die of thirst. There is

enough water. No one

need live without mercy. There is no 

end to grace. And we

are all instruments of grace. The

more we give it, the more

we share it, the more we use it, the

more God makes. There

is no scarcity of love. There is plenty.

And always more.

Let's live always with this kind of abundance and plenty in mind!
