35: Rise Together with the Giver

"…See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.
     For in truth it is life that gives unto life—while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness…."

This week, I am reading the poem On Giving by Kahil Gibran. Published in 1923.

Reflection question:

  • How are you rising together with the giver, whatever their motivation?
