Day 17: What is sharing?

What is sharing? What does it mean to you to share? He says, for him, sharing is giving the best of me to another. For example a tree shares by it's flowers, it's fragrance, it's fruit.

Sharing is vulnerable and open. It's free. If it's real sharing, it doesn't have expectations and requirements of reciprocity; it might hope for it, but it doesn't expect it or demand it.

Sharing is taking a risk that what you have to offer won't be rejected or deemed unworthy or not good enough. It is being assured that you are, in fact, offering your best, and if that best isn't sufficient for someone else, it is not taken as an offense, it is not accepted and ingrained as a judgment about self-worth.

Sharing is moving towards unity, oneness; it blurs the lines between self and other. It fosters connection and reinforces the interconnections between us all.

Sharing, for me, is freely giving whatever I have, knowing, being assured that I wont be left lacking if I continuously move in generosity.
