Sharing is Living...
When returning home late one night, I was gifted the chance to witness a random act of kindness.
I sat by the window, waiting for the horn to signal departure, when a lady got on the train and sat in the seat facing my own.
She had three bulky bags with her and in the palm of one hand was a small newspaper bundle with soaked spots of grease.
Her weariness was evident in the sigh she let escape as she plonked down on the seat before me. We smiled at each other, sharing both our exhaustion and the relief of knowing we were finally
headed home.
headed home.
Just as she arranged her bags on the seat next to her, and unfolded the creased newspaper packet, a little boy came in begging for alms. Knowing she had something ready to offer, he went
up to her and tapped her knee. She looked at him and for a fraction of a second her tired eyes flashed with annoyance before she set her lips in a faint smile and broke her vada-pav in two.
up to her and tapped her knee. She looked at him and for a fraction of a second her tired eyes flashed with annoyance before she set her lips in a faint smile and broke her vada-pav in two.
The little boy took the half she offered him and got off the train which had just begun to pull out of the station.
Being aware of the fact that I was watching her intently, she looked at me again and smiled. “At least, I can enjoy half of it in peace,” she said.
The depth of her words never left me. Indeed, if you have known hunger or thirst you will recognise it in another living being. This is the very wisdom which compels the homeless on our streets to share their food with the animals who live beside them.
Without a roof over their head, they allow stray dogs to snuggle up beside them on their chadars on cold winter nights. It makes our stomachs fuller, our sleep sweeter, and ignites a warming flame in our hearts because we know from experience that a little discomfort shared is better than nothing shared at all.
Through the transcendent laws which govern such acts, pain shared somehow decreases while joy shared multiplies. The lady probably received more blessings than the little boy who was gifted a meal. For while he ventured to ask, she exercised benevolence with the little she had.
The earth isn’t a commodity, nor is it an inheritance we can squander. It is our home, and meant to be shared with generations to come. Although we have been gifted limited resources, we are also blessed with the capacity to be boundless in our acts of giving.
To ensure we have a future worth sharing, we must share what we have today.

Be a Honey Comb....
Be A Honeycomb..........
There are three kinds of givers in the world:
The stone, the sponge and the honeycomb.
To get anything out of a stone, you must hammer it; even then it only yields chips and sparks.
To make a sponge part with the water it holds, you must squeeze it. The harder you
squeeze the more you get.
Then there is the honeycomb, from which sweetness overflows.’ This unattributed saying beautifully sums up how we humans abounding with attachment, and fraught with emotion, share what we consider our own.

"The highest result of education is tolerance."
~ Helen Keller, American social activist, public speaker and author (1880-1968)
Olives Benefits us in Many ways...
Since ancient times, the olive has been associated with peace, fertility, strength, victory, glory and sanctity. Mythological stories associated with olive abound. The Cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified, was made of olive wood.
Early Christianity used olive oil in baptism. Priests and kings were anointed with the oil. Olive oil was used to light lamps as it was believed to represent all that is celestial. In the Book of Genesis, the dove returned to the Ark with an olive branch to indicate that the Great Flood had ended; and since then the olive branch has been regarded as a symbol of peace and goodwill. According to legend, a cedar, a cypress and an olive tree grew on Adam's grave on the slopes of Mt Tabor.
Ancient Egyptians believed that it was Isis, the wife of Osiris, who taught humankind how to grow and use olives. The olive tree was one of the first plants to be cultivated. The practice spread from central Mesopotamia to Egypt and Phoenicia and then to Greece. Because of its importance as a source of both food and light, the olive acquired religious and divine significance.
Greek mythology describes how Zeus promised to give Attica to the god or goddess who offered the most useful invention. It was Athena, the goddess of wisdom and peace, who won the contest with her gift of the olive tree and its soothing, nourishing oil. Athena became the goddess of Athens and her olive tree was said to be planted on the rock of the Acropolis.
Olives grow off of a small tree called the Olive tree with is part of the Oleaceae family. Olive trees are native to the coastal areas of the eastern Mediterranean Basin, from Lebanon, Syria, maritime parts of Turkey, northern Iran. The tree is most important for its fruit called the olive, which is a major agricultural importance all over the world. Olives are picked from trees before consumption and used for consumption of olives or for the olive oil.
Olives come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors which all depend on how the olives are cured and when they are picked. There are two main types of olives green and black. The only difference between these olives is there ripeness, the black being fully riped and the green not being fully wiped. Most consumers are familiar with canned black olives and commonly pimento stuffed green olives there are many more flavors and textures of olives in the world.
Green olives must be soaked in a lye solution before brining. Black olives can be proceeded straight to brining. The longer the olive is permitted to ferment in its own brine, the less bitter and better the flavor will be. Green Olives which are often pitted can be stuffed with various fillings. Black olives are graded in sizes from small, medium, large, extra large, jumbo, colossal, and super colossal, and they also contain more oil that green olives.

Why I Love my Mother?
Mum and Dad were watching TV when Mum said, "I'm tired and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed".
She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.
She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer.
She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry. She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the excursion,
and pulled a text book out from hiding under the chair.
She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the supermarket. She put both near her purse. Mum then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her night solution & age fighting moisturiser, brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails. Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed." "I'm on my way," she said.
She put some water into the dog's dish and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked and the veranda light was on. She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and TV's, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the washing basket, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework.
In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her 6 most important things to do list.
She said her prayers, and visualised the accomplishment of her goals.
About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular. "I'm going to bed." ....
And he did...without another thought. Sound familiar???

Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.

and pulled a text book out from hiding under the chair.
She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the supermarket. She put both near her purse. Mum then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her night solution & age fighting moisturiser, brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails. Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed." "I'm on my way," she said.
She put some water into the dog's dish and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked and the veranda light was on. She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and TV's, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the washing basket, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework.
