The above is a photo of papaya tree that we did not plant. It came up near the boundary wall from bird droppings. We have seven papaya trees which came up like this. We planted three and the seven others are bird's gifts.
This is the third year since it started flowering. It's fruits are large and delicious, different from others.
This tree reminds me of many things in life which are 'given' to us. We did not go seeking for them but landed in our lap unasked for.
Anna distributes the fruits to our neighbours. I find that as a grateful act. What is give to us is also for sharing with others.
We receive and give. This is the way of living! I am slow in making this as a habit in my life!
