Subdued
Somnolent sun descends
Asleep before the pillow
Deep sepia blankets
Nightlight on
Sweet dreams

    Well, it’s intended as sincerity more than generosity 🙂 Hope you’re doing well, staying healthy and safe.

      <smile> There is a fair bit of generosity, these days, in any acts of sincerity. So much so that I wonder if they are not becoming one-and-the-same. 😉
      
      Thank you, Rhen… so far so good. Hopefully you’re just as well and safe.

        You’re a very positive person, I gather. I’d love it if generosity and sincerity became one and the same…but I’m skeptical. Yes, thank you–I’m well and safe 🙂

        <smile> I try to be, but to be honest, there is also a fair bit of malfeasance, disingenuousness, and insincerity… that is what makes any sincerity an act of generosity. I try to be a part of a world which returns to sincerity as an everyday act. Where people will take it and offer it as a matter of course.

        Ahh, now I see where the generosity part comes in–thanks much for elaborating on the topic, Patrick!

        No worries. I’d left that too implicit, so thought it worthwhile to make it explicit. 🙂
