Generosity

Ecce quam bonum et quam jucundum
habitare fratres in unum.

How good and how joyful it is
when we dwell together as one.

Sicut unguentum in capite,
quod descendit in barbam, barbam Aaron.

Like precious oil upon the head,
flowing down upon Aaron’s beard.

You give but little when you give of your possessions.
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

Dear friends, dear friends
Let me tell you how I feel.
You have given me such treasure.
I love you so.

Attention if the rarest form of generosity.
- Simone Weil

Last night I saw a host of angels
And they were all singing different songs
And it sounded like a lot of lawn mowers
Mowing down my lawn
And up above curjillions of stars
Spangled all over the sky
And they were spirals turning
Turning in the deep blue night
And suddenly for no reason
The way that angels leave the ground
They left in a kind of vortex
Traveling at the speed of sound
And just as I started to leave
Just as I turned to go
I saw a man who'd fallen
He was lying on his back in the snow
Some people walk on water
Some people walk on broken glass
Some just walk round and round in their dreams
Some just keep falling down
So when you see a man who's broken
Pick him up and carry him
And when you see a woman who's broken
Pull her all into your arms
'Cause we don't know where we come from
We don't know what we are

Go now in peace. Go now in peace.
May the light of love surround you
everywhere, everywhere you may go.
