On Giving
Then said a rich man, "Speak to us of Giving."
And he answered:
You give but little when you give of your possessions.
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
For what are your possessions but things you keep and guard for fear you may need them tomorrow?
And tomorrow, what shall tomorrow bring to the overprudent dog burying bones in the trackless sand as he follows the pilgrims to the holy city?
And what is fear of need but need itself?
Is not dread of thirst when your well is full, thirst that is unquenchable?
There are those who give little of the much which they have - and they give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.
And there are those who have little and give it all.
These are the believers in life and the bounty of life, and their coffer is never empty.
There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism.
And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue;
They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.
Though the hands of such as these God speaks, and from behind their eyes He smiles upon the earth.
It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked, through understanding;
And to the open-handed the search for one who shall receive is joy greater than giving
And is there aught you would withhold?
All you have shall some day be given;
Therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your inheritors'.
You often say, "I would give, but only to the deserving."
The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture.
They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.
Surely he who is worthy to receive his days and his nights is worthy of all else from you.
And he who has deserved to drink from the ocean of life deserves to fill his cup from your little stream.
And what desert greater shall there be than that which lies in the courage and the confidence, nay the charity, of receiving?
And who are you that men should rend their bosom and unveil their pride, that you may see their worth naked and their pride unabashed?
See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.
For in truth it is life that gives unto life - while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.
And you receivers - and you are all receivers - assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives.
Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings;
For to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free-hearted earth for mother, and God for father.
-Kahlil Gibran

fueling my soul
I stumbled on this site and I like to think this it was for a purpose. I want to know women that I can learn from and this seems to be the place to fuel my soul on my journey to constant enlightenment. Good energy is found here and this is where I need to learn.

Greetingz Sis!
I am an artisan, and plan to have my online business up and running by springtime. I have plans to post items on etsy to test the waters, while building my own site. I have been wearing only tall(long) skirts for about seven years now....and plan to incorporate much of them in my collection.
I will be bringing cultural,natural, handmade originals(crochetworks,jewelry,handmade clothing, and a few arts). I will be sure to link you as soon as I am up and running.
Much love to you & urs.

Hi Sis
Just came by to share some of my findings on the net. This is a link to a collection of free skirt patterns some modest some not all free ;-)
I especially like these and am planning to make them with african print fabric: http://onecraftygirl.wordpress.com/2007/02/18/super-easy-patternless-a-l... & http://www.jcarolinecreative.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=JC&Sc... The last one is my favorite I can use all fabric left overs from other projects in it.
Right now I am trying to figure out how I can make some band I bought into a skirt using the band as top of the skirt and some left over fabric as skirt. I will be taking pics of the process and if it works out I will post the tutorial.
Blessed weekend,
Chayil
