Seva Donation~ Round 9, Day 22

[M]

Still feeling inspired by Wavy Gravy's life story, ("Saint Misbehaving") so I decided to give a donation to the wonderful charity he started called SEVA. They provide sight for the blind in India.

I was thinking about donations today... I never really did much in the way of donating until I joined this site. It's a natural progression of a heart open to giving. I am so grateful for the ways I am blossoming into a more generous and compassionate person. I love the feeling that I am playing a part in the grand altruistic endeavors of others, no matter how small a part it may be. Know what I mean?

It's just like the SEVA motto says: "Your compassion can change the world."

Just think of all the changes our compassion is causing! It's so exciting!

I like what you say about donations... Yes.  I like that I am helping others help others... that my money is not just sitting in my wallet or my bank account for me alone... it is being sent out into the world on a Mission.  And if it's not spent as wisely as I might have thought I wanted (what stopped me in the past from donating).. who cares?  That is their responsibility.  My responsibility is to not hoard it & to provide it to those who can use it.  Because Lord knows I don't spend every penny of my own money perfectly; at least this way someone else gets helped too, in some way.

Good for you.

a perfect follow up to yesterday's gift :-)  it's cool how we go into this challenge thinking about the effect we're going to have on the world and it winds up having even more of an effect on us. at least that's how it's been for me. and yes, it IS exciting! Hugs, Dawn
