The return we reap from generous actions is not always evident. — Francesco Guicciardini

Inspiration of the Day:
“I placed Ted’s ashes in the ocean and watched as they made a rainbow before dissolving into the sea.” So begins the story of an unlikely friendship between Jimpa, a monk, and Ted, a hobo in his 80s who lives in freedom and dignity in a homeless camp. The friendship started when Ted saw Jimpa and said: “I’m hungry can you feed me?” It was to become a sweet refrain from a dear friend. Jimpa fed Ted, and listened to him tell stories of his life. When Ted died, Jimpa’s name and phone number were on a piece of paper in his pocket. The last chapter was to become as simple and meaningful as the first. http://www.dailygood.org/more.php?n=4375

Be The Change:
Take a moment to reflect on who may have been deeply affected by your acts of generosity, however small they have appeared to you.
