I was thinking about gifts this morning, not the ones I received at burning man, but the ones that I sent out during the year to my friends.

I was thinking back and just contemplating just how many dozen cookies got shipped out, just because people are my friends. They didnt ask for them. I just decided to do it, just because.

I know I wasnt always this way. A change for the better? Yea probably.

*RebA!'s in a pondering mood today*

No life on earth survives without something you might call a gift economy, which makes it seem ridiculous as an event theme, rubric, or whatever.

I was was wide awake an hour before sunrise this morning on a ranch in Nevada -- and felt it was a truly fortunate gift that the geese flying overhead in the dim purple light didn't circle around and peck me to death.

Does he ever leave home?

Does he make them by the case?

And I thought I didn't have a life.

I can tell you that I don't give a ton of gifts or anything (moneymoneymoney) but I am an infamous snailmailer amongst my friends. I am constantly sending little notes and cards to everyone I know and have met in the various places I've lived. I think it's in the same spirit you're referring to.

The best gifts come from the heart.
It took me many years to find a way to be of service.
And in a way just being allowed to do what I do is a gift to me.
It has a very deep meaning for both them and me.
