Appreciating the Gift of You
"You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give." ~Kahlil Gibran
Turn left
Stop
Pull forward
Park
Run into that shop
Grab what ya got.
The rat race goes on and on.
Time valued is still time lost when the moment
you spent it you forgot it.
How to give 'you' rather than give 'things'
is rarely taught and
seldom role modeled these days.
It is as if our time goes by in
a fast unacknowledged haze
without giving ourselves
simply from our hearts.
I paused this morning thinking about how gratefulness
to others for the time they have given me ~ sometimes slips
away from me when I am not focused on the person with a
deep level of listening that silences my thoughts forming
to be spoken next. I miss the gift of the person given to me.
Back to my basics ... back to be ever so grateful for the mountains
in front of me to climb and the river beyond to swim. Back to
a genuine appreciation of the people who cross my path adding to
my heart that seeks to learn about Love.
Thank you for giving pieces of you to me. Thank you for giving
me some of that precious time that is finite and goes by too
fast for anyone of us.
Thank you for Being You and letting me be me.
