if you give from what you have
whether it be a little or a lot
yet from afar,
you are generous
and that in itself
is no small thing
but if you create a soft place,
a safe space for others
to come
and experience
right alongside,
offering what you have
not only in gifts
but in your presence,
then this is the heart,
the art
the understanding
of what it really
means to share.
—sharing is not done at a distance, it is up close and personal.
