Is it more useful to make others see your point of view, or make yourself see theirs? … Is it ultimately more useful to benefit only yourself, or benefit others?*
Derek Sivers
Jesus, whose life and death are marked precisely by excess, not the excess of violence but the excess of the gift, of finding the point of equilibrium and then recommending the step beyond so that to follow in his steps is to be committed to taking an extra step, to going the extra mile.**
John Caputo
Your gift,
your love,
Swing this world into
disequilibrium,
In spite of those things
and people who seek
to control–
Your “yes and” life
we need you to be
excessive with.
What’s your gift?
