Day Thirty-eight

This stone is literally a gift because Jeanne gave it to me. What is my relationship to it? To hold on gently and persistently. Some gifts are eaten, some are used for cooking, some are to look at, some are to listen to. This one is for touching, I've decided.

I'm grateful to have a set of senses that feel. Although they may need guarding, in and of themselves, they present feeling, which seems to decode a trove of information about how things are. But I am very, very lucky, for the senses and mind which are considered an 'I' become unbound in the gift of another.
