Give with an open heart
and give with joy in the giving
Share without suspicion
and hold nothing back for yourself
Spend of your core:
time, spirit, and patience
Offer up a new victim
for every occasion asked
We give until we are hollowed out
husks of what could once have been
A universe of “musts”
unequally applied:
We give for the sacred obligation
of being and living
as women in the world ~ Caroline A. Slee
