December newspaper column

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.

    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.

    A very touching story. Thanks for sharing.

    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 . . .
