I know two types of people. Those who give and those who take. I have learned to appreciate and recognize both. I have been both. Thing is givers become very impatient with the universe when too many takers tilt it against them. Givers become agitated and suspicious. Then after awhile givers run and hide not out of fear but out of a desperate need to regroup and replenish. A need to top off our spirit in order to go back out there for the sole purpose of tilting the universe in our favor. In the favor of givers.
Givers are among you. You will find givers easily. We are not dressed in a certain way; there is not a secret code or language we keep to ourselves. We roam freely. It is not hard to find us. You will find us, as we are the first to step up, speak up, do up. Don't confuse us with takers disguised as givers. Takers are the first to tally up. You don't have to look for them. They find you.
Thing is about givers. We are sensitive types. We get worn out when the universe becomes constant consumers of our giving nature. We try hard to put on a happy face, to stand tall, look like our gravity is centered. But in truth, sometimes we teeter on exhaustion.
So if ever the universe seems eerily quiet and off-kilter do not dismay. It is because the givers have escaped to a quiet place of solace. A barefoot place. A place where we stare into the ocean and look for answers from the stars. A place where it is okay to cry and ask questions. A place where we hear voices from our ancestors who were waitng for our arrival. There are a lot of us. Teachers, priests, grandmas, dads, community activists. Givers abound.
And when it is time, we will rejoin you stronger, better, and more encouraged. And the universe will respond. Givers win by giving. Givers will take only whatever is given freely and in God's holy favor.
