We are showered every day with gifts, but they are not meant for us to keep.  Their life is in the movement, the inhale and the exhale of our shared breath.  Our work and our joy is to pass along the gift and to trust that what we put out into the universe will always come back.  Respect one another, support one another, bring your gift to the world and receive the gifts of others, and there will be enough for all.
