the smallness of philanthropy it came into sight, as an electronic jerk or was it reminding me that i am the work? this is who you are one of those ascribed to me as an i will be your future in reading time, yet with some chiding, foretelling and then foretold well after the fact of some thing in giving my all in these days that would become intrinsic to who i am. it is lovely to be small. the difference of smallness v. greatness is a samson/delilah moment, or better yet, a david in the lion’s den movement where an action that could have been ignored lived on for us. leaning richly toward history, fables, fabrications and such, still and all, i admire those in true form of gifting, the gates that open; the buffets that feed; and those waltons lacking mountains that did not tell stories, but gave lives a branch to living… these are the differences, in compassion and ability, poor are those who give in time, tales, experience, but rich, rich are they in word…and sharing. the smallness of philanthropy, for when it comes into reality it becomes you. " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

I never thought of philantropy in this manner before. I think you are right! It may be one of smallest, but greatest gift. (I like this a lot!) Great to be here for a few and catch some of those thoughts and words. Thank you,Sunshine! [This message has been edited by miscellanea (11-09-2006 12:03 AM).] |

"Its lovely to be small" !...... luckily for all of us, this 'poetic Voice' of sunshine from 'Sunshine'....is not! self-efacing philanthropy....'smallness' at its grandest! Don't know if I have the 'courage' to take on some of the topics she does! |
