To give and to receive

Giving and receiving are opposite sides of the same coin.

Receiving entails trust in our own value and our having respect for the giver.

By receiving we reinforce the giver and are ourselves supported and affirmed by the gift.

In this way we participate in life’s goodness and assist in its flourishing.

There are times in our lives when the only way we can give back is to receive.
