"A wise lover values not so much the gift of the lover as the love of the giver."
~Thomas a Kempis~
If we forget to be appropriately humble, life circumstances will do the job for us. If we cannot find it within ourselves to be giving, things will be taken away. If we are dishonest, we will not be trusted. And if we are callous, we will encounter one hard edge after another.
Reciprocity is a law of life, as real as gravity or motion. If we want balance we have to be balanced. If we want good health we have to behave in healthy ways. And if we want our lives to be beautiful, we have to embrace beauty in ourselves first, and then in others, and then we will learn to see it everywhere we look.
I get what I give.
