A Gift ExchangeA Story by DayranTales of Crimrose B. Cosmo : VIIThe hardest thing to do is to receive a gift and not offer something of value in return. It makes of us a debtor that still pays in so many different ways in a seemingly endless gratitude that we cannot satisfy. But the answer lies in a dangerous place. Dangerous, because in breaking away on one point, we may well unravel all else in a relationship. That may explain why we are seldom that tough. Thereafter we reject all gifts and view all such as something we should never have allowed in the first place. But how does a person undo something, especially in a special place reserved for a love that is true and may still be? How do we say no to a face that shines with the light of milk and is jowled with baby fat? We don't. But we do all that is necessary for the person to do so volitionally. And one of the important ways this may be done is to offer a gift to that person that stores in him the memory of the gift he has offered to us. Or we could wait for a special occasion such as Valentine's or Christmas and do a lump sum gift. But seldom does this create the same effect. We find that we need to do it at the point when the iron is hot. This opens the door to us not only in our minds but in our passions. A man walking away from his house ought to have left a gift behind. That way he continues the appreciation for the gifts he received while in the family. It doesn't begrudge him that in the experience of his bodily senses particularly the physical proximity sense. To create change in a situation while maintaining the stability of affection in other areas is obviously an important rule to follow. Its never too late. A person can still do today what he should have done a long time ago. There is no law in the statute of limitation on issues of love. In time we come to understand better these gifts and the places of their import. That would truly be an attitude of thanksgiving.
