When Giving Is All We Have, by Alberto Ríos

One river gives
Its journey to the next.

We give because someone gave to us.
We give because nobody gave to us.

We give because giving has changed us.
We give because giving could have changed us.

We have been better for it,
We have been wounded by it—

Giving has many faces: It is loud and quiet,
Big, though small, diamond in wood-nails.

Its story is old, the plot worn and the pages too,
But we read this book, anyway, over and again:

Giving is, first and every time, hand to hand,
Mine to yours, yours to mine.

You gave me blue and I gave you yellow.
Together we are simple green. You gave me

What you did not have, and I gave you
What I had to give—together, we made

Something greater from the difference.

validating perspective: Permission to Just Be, Right Now, As Is!

"YOU ARE NOT A PROJECT". Seriously. You get to decide what's best for you, day by day. Sorry 'entrepreneurs' but I'm done with the tone-deafness. Also, this is probably NOT the best time to talk about 'silver linings'. 🎯

“It seems like I’ve received 60-plus emails from healers, teachers, and authors, all encouraging me to join in meditations and classes. And while I appreciate their efforts and insights, I feel like we are missing a beat here."

I want to invite us all to slow down and acknowledge the tragedy and hardship that has just befallen us—to take a beat.
