The cashew tree in our garden is colourful to watch with cashew fruits in different stages of development.
The tree with its blossoms appearing in November has since been with young and ripening cashew fruits. The guava tree is also with ripening fruits. The squirrels feed on them.
A tree gives its fruits !
A plant gives its flowers and fruits.
The garden is a place where this giving is full expression!
I experienced how giving can be refreshing to receive! While visiting an ENT consultant recently, I experienced how the giving was spontaneous, warm and caring, in the way I was attended to. I felt that giving was with a desire to help, affirm and guide!
During two telephone calls yesterday, I experienced how both of them were truly giving by listening and guiding!
To give is to encourage and affirm!
The journey path that we choose in our lives can be sometimes met with unforeseen obstacles and demands. It is then a word in season or an act of kindness can make all the difference to someone who finds the going weary and draining!
When Anna and I returned home yesterday after a week of travel, It was special to experience the giving behaviour of Dulcie and Daphne. They wanted to stay close to us and hoovered around us with canine behaviour of affection! The giving behaviour is natural to them!
To live giving is a way of becoming present to others!
