to bless witness

Have you heard "it is more blessed
to give than to receive" ?
This blessing is multiplied
when witness is the "to give".

May sharing from the heart emphasize
valuable experience, no person can take
another's experience from them,
witness endures within.

May recognition of personal connection
in life's story be relished.

Possibility expands as witness becomes focal;
telling the story is the gift that matters.

Reap happiness in abundance, make statements
of what you have done, experienced,
felt, become, given, received.

Even "to receive" is blessed when
it becomes the theme of witness giving.

Yesterday gazing out the door, and desiring a jog, I knew it was cold out.
But I looked out to see snowflakes falling.
"What an opportunity. I will be able to share about a jog in falling snow."

So I put on shoes and layers, then jogged away.

The flakes seemed to be falling on the breath of angels,
each crytalline feather bearing the creator's signature.
Awestruck as I jogged slowly along the street,
"I have no interest in bearing witness
to the idea of jogging in the snow. It is the experience of jogging
in the snow that is amazing."

It was good for the soul to be out
in the snow fall yesterday, conspiring
with nature. And now witnessing to the experience
renews the blessing the event brought.
-------------------------------------

May the witness to personal experience be doubly blessed today.
