The significant thing we have to give is our attention. Once someone or something 'has our attention' it becomes possible for us to interact sympathetically within the dynamics of that world. The first and essential thing to GIVE, is our ATTENTION. Anything else good or useful can only follow that.

Look, there is a question as to whether what we call giving is really giving or whether in fact it is a method of taking, or even whether the giving and the taking combine without the necessity of contradiction.
