Priming the Pump

In the wake of tragedies such as the earthquake in Japan, it is important to ground ourselves and not allow ourselves to spin out in circumstances. We must maintain the high watch and the spark of spirit. All effective prayer is correcting what we see and hear by what we know. This month's book, The Go-Giver, speaks about value and giving. We have to prime the pump---give some water to get more---and always be generous, with a passion for what we do or give, not being concerned with what we are getting back. The biblical Parable of the Talents also teaches us boldness and growing in consciousness.
