The Art of Giving

The Art of Giving


We give of ourselves

when we give gifts of the heart:

Love, kindness, joy, understanding, sympathy, tolerance, forgiveness...


We give of ourselves

when we give gifts of the mind:

Ideas, dreams, purposes, ideals, principles, plans, inventions, projects, poetry...


We give of ourselvs

when we give gifts of the spirit:

Prayer, vision, beauty, aspiration, peace, faith...


The finest gift a man can give

in his age and time

is the gift of a constructive and creative life.



Unknown author - verse given to me by my Peruvian friend Elsa, who now lives in Sweden
