So you're a human being with an imagination and something to give? Well done. You've met all the requirements for becoming a creative philanthropist. The next step is to give genuinely and joyfully.
And remember we're watching. (By the way, you look great today!)
What are the terms of a gift?
What does the fruit
owe the stem? Mysteries
grow over thinking
like a peel, the callus
of thought. In this condition: a gift
without a giver. Or: a gift
having become the thing
that gives. That is what this
is. I hand you fruit not
wishing for the seeds' return.
There is no calculus
friends, for what we do.
