We Give All the Time

We give all the time, whether we know it or not. When we are born, we are given life. When we have children, we give them our time, attention, and we love and nurture them. When we speak, we give life to new ideas; we voice our thoughts and affirm our unity. When we give, we show that we care.

Giving can be a simple physical act of taking something tangible and passing it along to someone else. It can be something less solid and it becomes an emotional exposure we reveal to someone else for our own purposes and/or theirs. Sometimes it's letting someone else take what they need and we become more passive and just let it happen. At times it's keeping what we have going on inside and let the other person have the room without our added weight.

Giving can grow from person to person in a forward motion, like a snowball rolling down a hill. Giving can be a one-way stop from point A to point B. It can be both selfish and unselfish. It can mean a small token, to a larger gesture that changes someone’s life.

Giving is one big thing that assures our humanity. It allows us to improve upon ourselves and others. It allows us to realize that there is hope for a better world. Giving empowers the giver and the recipient.

Everyone has something to give – whether you have everything or nothing – anyone has something to pass along and enlighten another.

DAMN YO! THAT SHIT IS DEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!
