Like “fortune,” bounty can seem to be about money. Pirates hunt for bounty, as do those who seek out criminals for reward, sometimes to deadly effect. It is a monetary gift, often doled out by a generous government; bounty is expresses as liberality.
A bounty is an abundance, and that can be any horn-of-plenty. There can be sunshine aplenty, and the gifts of nature can be bountiful. Blue skies, rainy days, flowers, clouds, the very air we breathe, are all presented to us by a magnaninous world. Music and art and performance are given us by our fellow sentient beings.
It’s a bounty spread before us.Cherish it
