A Gift Freely Given
must be freely received. . . a simple poem
When one creates from the soul
and gives that creation as a gift
. . . a gift of inspired poetic music
— if it is not freely accepted
on the basis of which it is offered
it ceases to be the inspired creation
that originated from the soul
. . . for the soul will have lost its wings
to soar to the heights of its own divine being.
This simple little poem was inspired by an actual event
that - through inner reflection - has brought forth this
insight of a sad reality.If you have ever received the disappointment of offering
a poem or song from the depths of your soul to someone
who you were certain would share the same love for it—
but instead it was received with a hesitant acceptance. . . then indeed you know exactly that of which I speak!
The joy of giving
actually comes from
unquestioning and
truly grateful receiving!
Thank you for reading . . . and understanding!
