Offering Goodness

We talked at the Zendog yesterday about humans acting out of fear and constriction rather than out of confidence in the goodness we have to offer and the unending expansiveness that is our true nature.

Offering our goodness to others is a seed for both the giver and the one who receives; a seed that when watered with confidence in our true nature grows into greater goodness for both. In this case, unending means unending.

Fearlessness supports presence which supports love, which is none other than the offering of goodness that exists anyway - it's just joyful to realize it.
