Appendix 12. The Sharing of the Mature
I think sharing means scattering what is mine. Sharing of your own accord is not so easy, but if you think that what you have is not your own, you will surely be able to do it. Slowly breaking down what is mine, square and hard, which I thought I had made perfect: that is the sharing God wants. It will be hard, but by breaking myself down, I too can take on a round shape, and as my sharp edges wear away, I can give peace and laughter to those around me. If you cannot share and break down, and insist only on your own square thing, the people beside you will be badly hurt, and that hardness will make you all the more hard-hearted. Sharing is the astonishing work in which scattering and giving to the poor make you richer still. It seems that if you scatter what is yours it will all disappear, but when you scatter it and break it down by faith, you will see your reward rising high beside you.
