Contemplative tax preparation by Dan Beach

Today is a holiday honoring presidents. It signals the coming seasons of this time of year. Spring with Lent and Easter, tax season and then baseball season. I am very grateful for one of them and follow a team for 165 games for the other but the middle one makes me think of how I used the money that I actually made last year. “I spent that much on that?” “Wasn’t I going to save more?”
I know that getting ready for the tax person leads me to evaluate what my intentions are for this year. I want to devote more resources to make our planet a much better place. I want to give to people who are really making a difference in bringing peace and justice to those hurting on our planet.
I really don’t want to know where all that tax money is going. I will leave that up to Caesar and other presidents.

    Tax season… Oh yes, thanks for the reminder. :-) And I agree with you – this is a good time to evaluate the good or harm we’re bringing to our world via our financial choices.
