Giving

I'm impressed by the volume of love that people feel toward the victims of certain tragedies   For instance, those that face Natural Disasters.  And here, in Newtown, CT.  There is a whole warehouse full of teddy bears people have sent to offer solace.  Because no one can really think of anything else they can do to make it better.  Because they can't.

I posit it would be better to give, or pray, or help in your own community to honor those victims, instead of sending a teddy bear to a child that can't hold it any longer, or to parents that would rather not have the reminder that their baby won't ever be coming back.

Give local.  Give daily.  Give without needing anything in return.
