As
with all cultures,
there
are traditions and festivals to celebrate significant events
in its
development.
With the
United States, it's the commemoration
of
that fateful and needful assistance which helped
a
fledgling community survive.
Rendered
by hospitable Native Americans
whose
compassion was unconditional.
We can
never repay kindness.
Ours
is the task of inculcating that quality into our being
Practicing
it daily
until it
becomes
Our very
nature.
My Thanksgiving will be a small
affair.
We shall follow with the
traditional meal,
spend time in good humor with some frivolity.
As the day wanes,
we shall tarry on the topic of
those we cherish;
those we miss.
In the
telling, relive events that drew us near.
Cultivate those moments that keep
us dear.
The smells and sights that gently
anchor
hearth to those precious hearts.
We set a day aside for humility,
gratitude for our prosperity
of health
and comfort,
our very freedom from oppression.
Aspiring in our demonstrations
a great hope to kindle a
taste
for practicing generosity;
the giving of ourselves,
as a natural
every moment
practice
