Because of this gentleman I am able to enjoy a beautiful part of the countryside and gain a far deeper knowledge of its history. If only all land owners were so welcoming!

This young lady generously posed with her own body art in Grafitti Alley. I'm really a very shy person, and I near peed my pants when I asked. You gotta remember that we are in a back alley in downtown Toronto and she was accompanied by her boyfriend or significant other. I just love the way she tilted her head in this image.

Hinako generously prepared fancy delicacies including caviar and champagne at the table. It was a nice treat to enjoy under the stars.
It's a clear sky and so we know the two lovers were able to meet this year.

Thanks to a generous donation from Reached out to Asia (ROTA), ANERA successfully distributed over 1,400 sets of sports gear and uniforms to Palestinian, Syrian, and Lebanese sports teams in different regions and camps across the country.
More than 2000 children are beneficiaries of the new sports gear, allowing them to create a sense of community and bonding among their teammates. “A sports jersey may not mean much to others,” explains Coach Khalil Mansour, the head of the Wahdeh Sports Club, ANERA’s local partner in Nahr el Bared Camp, “but for these children, who come from fragmented communities and are constantly faced with challenges, it helps them create a sense of belonging and community.”
Many young boys and girls living in refugee camps and tented settlements seek out sports opportunities as a temporary safe-haven from their challenging daily lives. As such, ANERA provides its local partners with more than just the resources to create sports teams. Rather, its assistance provides youth with the tools to create collaborative healthy and professional sports communities.

Mohammed has been living in this informal refugee camp for almost two months. His wife is sick and cannot access any medical care. Like everyone else in the camp, Mohammed and his wife rely mainly on food donations from the local Kurdish community. But while this demonstrates the generosity within the host community, Mohammed’s wife cannot eat the rice and chicken provided because of her illness. With no access to work or income, there is little chance that Mohammed’s family will be able to afford food, medicine and healthcare without outside help. Christian Aid partner REACH will be providing their family, and others in the camp, with much needed food supplies such as rice, oil, beans, lentils and salt.
Panginoon, turuan Mo ako maging bukas-palad
Turuan Mo akong maglingkod sa Iyo
Na magbigay nang ayon sa nararapat
Na walang hinihintay mula sa 'Yo
Nang makibakang di inaalintana
Mga hirap na dinaranas
Sa tuwina'y magsumikap na hindi humahanap
Ng kapalit na kaginhawaan
Na 'di naghihintay kundi ang aking mabatid
Na ang loob Mo'y siyang sinusundan
Amen
Dearest Lord,
Teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labor and not to ask for reward,
save that of knowing that I do your will.
Amen
The Expo is generously hosted by the State of Qatar and co-organized by the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation and the United Nations Development Programme Regional Bureau for Arab States. The main objective of the Expo is to serve as a platform for matching capacities of the solution providers with the needs of the solution seekers, which will potentially lead to practical exchanges of South-South solutions and experiences in the region. It is an opportunity for countries in the Arab States region to share achievements and replicate successes in the context of the production, marketing and transfer of solutions in response to shared development challenges. The three thematic focus areas of the Expo are youth and women’s employment, energy efficiency and renewable energy, and water and food security.

The garden is good to us this summer. It's easy to understand how the roots of many religions were linked to the harvest.
Every time I visit my ceramist friend Jasmine she gives me something wonderful. When I happened to mention how much I liked this vase among the many others in her kitchen, she pulled it off the shelf and gifted it. The beautiful roses are from the climbing bush in the yard of the empty student rental next door. The owner said I could clip/transplant anything I want and I have taken him at his word.

I think I may have been over generous with the sizable proportions of bread, and seed I laid out yesterday :D. But this is one happy camper in the woods. I even made a nice table setting with a view. Now HOW MUCH MORE GENEROUS CAN ONE BE? He's in heaven with a serious case of gluttony!
HMM & have a great week!

I wonder who maintains this rusted but freshly painted donation box. And I wonder what kind of donations it attracts in this up-market garden at Mumbai Land's-End.
In any case, I found something attractive and some thing funny about it, so here it is for you.

“Capable, generous men do not create victims, they nurture victims.”
“The west has fiscalised its basic power relationships through a web of contracts, loans, shareholdings, bank holdings and so on. In such an environment it is easy for speech to be “free” because a change in political will rarely leads to any change in these basic instruments. Western speech, as something that rarely has any effect on power, is, like badgers and birds, free. In states like China, there is pervasive censorship, because speech still has power and power is scared of it. We should always look at censorship as an economic signal that reveals the potential power of speech in that jurisdiction.”
“The sense of perspective that interaction with multiple cultures gives you I find to be extremely valuable, because it allows you to see the structure of a country with greater clarity, and gives you a sense of mental independence.”
“Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence and thereby eventually lose all ability to defend ourselves and those we love. In a modern economy it is impossible to seal oneself off from injustice.
If we have brains or courage, then we are blessed and called on not to frit these qualities away, standing agape at the ideas of others, winning pissing contests, improving the efficiencies of the neocorporate state, or immersing ourselves in obscuranta, but rather to prove the vigor of our talents against the strongest opponents of love we can find.
If we can only live once, then let it be a daring adventure that draws on all our powers. Let it be with similar types whos hearts and heads we may be proud of. Let our grandchildren delight to find the start of our stories in their ears but the endings all around in their wandering eyes.
The whole universe or the structure that perceives it is a worthy opponent, but try as I may I can not escape the sound of suffering.
Perhaps as an old man I will take great comfort in pottering around in a lab and gently talking to students in the summer evening and will accept suffering with insouciance. But not now; men in their prime, if they have convictions are tasked to act on them.”

Cadishead and Irlam Guardian 1921.
At a monthly meeting of Irlam Urban Council, members spoke in glowing terms of the donation of 13 acres of land by Mr George Thomas of Irlam Hall to the district for use as a park. The Council Chairman (Mr. J.J. Upton) said it was a most generous gift which,he felt sure,the whole of the community would appreciate.
The public of Irlam and Cadishead were reacting with universal satisfaction to the announcement of Mr George Thomas's gift of 12 or 13 acres of his land to the district for use as a public park to commemorate the visit by the Prince of Wales to Irlam. It was being suggested that Mr Thomas's generosity should be honoured by offering him the chairmanship of the Council for a year.
Cadishead and Irlam Guardian 1921
Arrangements were being made for a visit of the Prince of Wales to Irlam. The Prince, who was in Irlam on his motor tour from Eccles to Knowsley, was to pass a line-up of discharged sailors and soldiers.
The Prince would halt near the district's Council offices on Liverpool Road where day school children were to line up and sing a verse of "God Bless The Prince of Wales" accompanied by an orchestra. The Prince's stay will last about 10 minutes.
Excitement was rife in Irlam in the early hours of the day the Prince of Wales was due to visit the district.
Flags and bunting were all along both sides of Liverpool Road from the district's boundary with Eccles to it's opposite frontier with Hollins Green.
Great Fervour was apparent at the time for the Prince's visit drew near. At 6.15p.m.-20 minutes later than expected-an excited shout of "He's here!" greeted the Prince's arrival. He drove up in a car adorned by a Royal Standard on the bonnet and his vehicle moved slowly past the cheering crowds he stood up to greet them with raised hat.The Guardian's reporter wrote "The Prince's frank,unaffected manner, fair auburn hair glinting in the sunlight, handsome sunburned face, smiling and slim youthful figure won the hearts of all present,-especially the ladies."
Eccles and Patricroft Journal 15th July 1921 page 6 column 2.
Mr George Thomas, J.P.,Irlam Hall, who has presented the Urban District Council with about 13 acres of land for a park to commemorate the visit of the Prince of Wales to Irlam on Thursday last week.
IRLAM'S PUBLIC PARK
Generous Gift of Mr. Geo. Thomas. J.P.
Whilst awaiting the arrival of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales on Thursday week. Mr. Geo. Thomas. J.P. Irlam Hall. who was presented to His Royal Highness, intimated to Mr. J.J. Upton. J.P. chairman of the District Council his intention to give a plot of land, nearly 13 acres in extent, "as a park to be used perpetually by the public of Irlam, commemorative of the visit of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales." Mr Thomas handed to Mr Upton a letter conveying this most pleasant surprise of the historic occasion being a duplicate of one which was handed to the Prince of Wales before his departure.
It will be remembered that Mr Thomas gave "The George Thomas Recreation Ground" adjacent to Irlam Hall, to mark the occasion of the visit of His Majesty the late King Edward V11, on July 6th,1909. The land which is to comprise Irlam's new park, is behind Irlam Hall, from Liverpool rd, and is most pleasantly situated between the Hall and the old river, alongside which runs a footpath from Fairhills rd to Ferry rd.
The footpath is very much used being a favourite resort in the summer months. The land will serve admirably as a park lending itself to a beautiful lay-out. Mr Thomas who is recovering from a serious illness has laid the district under deep obligation of his generosity. He is greatly respected and esteemed in the locality and much pleasure was expressed when it was known that his name was among the official presentations to the Prince of Wales. Mr Thomas referred to it as follows.
"Irlam Hall",Irlam July 7th 1921, To His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. To commemorate and in grateful recognition of the visit of your Royal Highness to Irlam, I will give my bit of land(about 12-13 acres) for a park to our Urban District Council for the besent? of us all in perpetuity. Geo. Thomas.
Cadishead and Irlam Guardian 1922
A proposed lay-out had been drawn up for Princes Park, which had been given to the local authority by Mr George Thomas. The name was in commemoration of a recent visit to the district by the Prince of Wales. It was planned that the park would have a lake, a garden of remembrance, a bandstand and tennis courts,

"A generous benefactor of the poor, a devoted friend of animals, an opponent of every form of cruelty an oppression, and a fearless champion of liberty"
From his obituary:
"He was a great individualist, and all that interfered with the liberty of the individual met with his uncompromising and eloquent denunciation; and the opponents of compulsory vaccination, of the Contagious Diseases Acts, and of vivisection, found him a powerful ally on their platforms"

my generous boss treated us to a $50 a person "Slow Food" dinner at Petals from the Past in Jemison, AL last weekend. i am not a member of the local slow food chapter but it appears that Frank and Pardis Stitt organize these events. we started the evening with blueberry picking, fantastic white sangria packed full of fresh peaches, honey, fig [the lime green "marseille" variety rocks] and peach tasting [the "donut" or "saturn" variety was really delightful. it is white and squatty looking--very unusual] and generally me avoiding conversation with strangers.
we moved inside for the meal prepared by Frank's chefs and maybe some folks from Little Savannah as well. we had Boutwell Farms burgers with beautiful and local red and yellow tomatoes, caramelized onions, and homemade ketchup and mustard, grilled corn with the most fabulous cilantro, lime and chili butter [i slathered mine in it], potato salad and homemade pickles.
we washed this tasty meal down with an IPA by Good People Brewing Company. i had heard something about this new brewer in town and was excited to try it out. not being the biggest IPA fan i was rather surprised when i learned it was one. we ended up chatting with jason, one of the guys behind the beer, and he told us all about how they came to be and what we can expect in the future. they should have their brown ale out soon and you can find it draught at J. Clyde and the Grill, both on southside.
dessert was underwhelming, a blueberry shortcake thing--cornbread type cake, a too thick for anglaise but too thin for pastry cream sweetened lemon substance and berries. i wish they'd just served us straight blueberries!
my only complaint about the evening was that EVERYTHING was disposable--cups, forks, plates, bottled water, etc. aren't these folks all about "sustainability"? it was really disappointing!

O God, please help all parents to teach their children to be generous to other families.
Thank You for all the blessings that all families received from Your loving grace.
But please help all families to unite to be generous to other families as well.
That the Love of God given to all families may be shared to other families –
Even if they are not their relatives, friends, neighbors or co-workers.
You have called us O God to be one community,
That even families who live together may unite under Your Love and Power.
That through good deeds of Generosity be a vessel for Unity and Peace –
Even amongst those families that this world may have misled them to dislike each other.
As much as You have blessed our family with so much blessings,
We also pray for other families that they may be more blessed by Your Love.
That families may feel that there are other families out there who truly care for them.
Amen.

Let's face it. It's hard to make money when you're a kid. You feed the dog, take out the trash, make your bed, set the table, and do whatever else your parents deem appropriate... all for about a buck a day (at least in our house). If you're lucky, maybe you hawk a cup of lemonade for about 25 cents. In an age where Wii games cost $50 and iPads cost $500, your pittance doesn't get you very far.
So imagine my surprise when my 8-year-old came to me, money jar in his little hands, and asked if he could donate some of his own money to the people in Japan. I'm not quite sure where he got the idea but it almost moved me to tears. I'm so often questioning how good I am at this parenting stuff but at least I know I've done something right.
