December newspaper column
genkaku
Northampton, Mass. U.S.A. Veteran
At the risk of being uppity, here is a column I wrote that appears in today's local paper. It's a bit gaudy and conformist, but it's what I could muster: The 91-cent Gift that Never Lost Its Value.

Thanks for sharing - well written too!
Uppity nothing. I am moved to tears, particularly in light of the tragedy that has befallen other children elsewhere. Beautiful, meaningful and profoundly apt. Thanks, Adam.
That was beautiful story ... I found myself puddling up around the eyes just a little bit, as well ...
ps - I tweeted it.
One of the forty six secondary downfalls in the Tibetan Bodhisattva vows is to not accept a material gift when it is offered thus denying the giver the opportunity to accumulate merit.
There you go . . .
String is still being passed on . . .
A big part of giving is also having the grace to accept so many gifts . . .
