What can I gift

The night was quiet. The soft breeze running through my almost 'hairless' head. After an entire day of work, I looked up to the night sky and saw a bright moon shining bright.

Calmness descended upon me. I was enjoying the brief moments in the moonlight, contemplating on my life.

This question arose within, "What can I gift? Even when I am poor?"

The answer arose gently within, love.

"Love is a rare, marvellous gift. We can engender it in abundance within; and it nourishes us when we gift."

Of course, love is a subject which definition had been debated since it had came into existence in people's minds. Love, in this context, refers to kindness and compassion.

Love, may just be a kind word on a frustrating day. A helping hand on a difficult day. A smile on a rainy day and sometimes, a hug on a dreadful day.

We can 'afford' it as a gift for others even when we are poor financially.

Love and its expressions are rare and marvellous. It requires the person who gifts, to go beyond one's ego, self-interests, one's pain and sufferings etc. And it nourishes one within. The presence of love within means an momentary absence of pain and sufferings even if it is temporary.

Love is a gift for others as well as a gift for ourselves.

Kindness arose. Compassion arose. Gratitude arose.

Some may ask what if others doesn't want the gift from us? Love is a lovely gift for others but it is an even more lovely gift for oneself.

It takes the arising of momentary awareness and transcendence of one's pain and sufferings to see the gift as a gift and to accept it so; embracing the love as it is.

How rare and marvellous it is to be able to experience love as it is.

It is indeed wonderful.

I looked up to the night sky. The moon is still there in the sky, shining bright.

Have a lovely night everyone.

May all be well and happy
