‘and the more accessible we are for asking, the more we can learn about how and where to shape our giving to do the most good’…i love this. thank you!
i’m sure this is going to be a wonderful conference! just remembered a recent conversation with a friend about giving (we were talking about colonialism and one culture or group another)…we thought that we can think about giving…and taking…like breath. we can’t be breathing in, or out, one more than the other. and in a relational way, this seems to add to the idea of giving as an act of reciprosity – the gifts we find in connection.
love and warm wishes for this important work!
oh yes…grrrr…moving!
thanks, penny! giving and asking. yes. i think our asking makes us more accessible. and the more accessible we are for asking, the more we can learn about how and where to shape our giving to do the most good. same goes for the pulse of open space… learning and contributing. proceedings coming as soon as we can get them out. hopefully as early as friday, as they are typed here by conference participants.
hope the move is settling.
