DAY 54 Mar. 24: The practice for today is GIVING. Practice generously giving by sharing time, talent, energy and material resources with others. Whatever you give, do it without thinking of getting anything in return. Do it as a service, not reluctantly, but with joy. That is a real gift. If you expect something in return, it is not a gift, but a contract.
Whatever you give, be sure it is from the heart:
“Not in what we give, but what we share,
For the gift without the giver is bare."

Gifts are not just material things. Consider any harmful behavior you might have. Changing the behavior, or giving it up, could be a gift to those who love and care about you.

Today: I will clean out my closet, bureau drawers, or garage and give away things I'm not using. I will give my time to a volunteer organization and my financial resources to a cause that supports and practices nonviolence. I will consider giving up some harmful or negative behavior I may have.
