What is Our Gift to the Family of Earth?

Often in times of crisis, we look to grab onto something that has meaning. Many of us feel hurt or flawed, and because of this, we often feel like we have no real gift to give. But this kind of thinking can be more costly than the original abuse. We believe that we have been broken by our suffering. But the sorrows are not unbearable; these wounds can heal. Our sorrow does not contaminate our gift. Our sorrow can become our gift. A gift not offered dies in the heart. The Family of Earth aches for our gift to be offered.
