No matter the results and outcomes, the thousand possibilities, you are here now. Why even try to trace what the beggar will do with your money? Let your giving be the whole horizon. Be lovingly present and wars and stars and grief and cats alike will be unable to trouble you. At the center of the world and in each breath this is the holy temple, the birthing moment: giving and receiving love. That is all. This is the sacred point, the love in you meeting the love in the world. However broken or weary you are, bring yourself here, in love, now.
