Quotes - You gave me the moon, my darling!

have been given many gifts, one of which is the gift of citizenship in the
United States of America. You must steward that gift and the responsibilities
that come with it.”

“We
labor not to accomplish some task, for that is far too simple. We labor so that
a child is a bit safer, a hunger satisfied, a house warmed, poverty brought to
its knees, a dream brought to reality, a wound healed, a need met in whatever
way that need is met. We labor to leave those for whom we have labored enriched
in ways that could not have been possible were it not for our labor. Therefore,
we would be wise to remember that it is in the sweat of our labors that we have
the privilege of leaving the imprint of our legacies.”

“You
gave me the moon, my darling!" she had said happily. "Oh, what a
lovely and impossible gift." She had always told me to chase the moon. To
surround myself with people who would lasso it down in a heartbeat.”

“Show

Gift Gugu Mona, The Gift of Thanksgiving
“My
dad's boss hosted a Christmas event at his house. Gathering for food and drink.
Presents for the kids. A smoking Santa passed out gifts. My box was huge. An
electric race track. I had never had a present that nice. But there had been a
mistake. Santa took my race track. Handed it to another kid. Gave me a box of
books. And said it was the right gift for me.”

Damon Thomas, Too Weird To Share: A Rural Gloom Sampler
“I
see life as a mission to which I have been called rather than an affliction
that I must endure. And while the two frequently run parallel paths that seem
to intersect at times, holding tight to the sense of ‘mission’ grants me the
strength to endure the feelings of ‘affliction.”

“You
are more than just letting life come at you. You are not a rock in a stream.
Rocks are good and have a beautiful purpose, but you have been gifted with
legs. A gift that would dishonor rocks not to use. A gift that allows you to
choose your stream, valley, or purpose.”

give you the gift of love. You do not need to accept it. It does not diminish
the gift. Not accepting it only diminishes you.”

“Late
July. Friends arrive bearing gifts. A shallow white cardboard box turns out to
be carrying a cluster of flat white peaches, their soft pink cheeks nudging one
another. The scent of roses teases as I open the lid. Eight plump navels, their
parchment skin flushed with brushstrokes of rose and carmine.”

“A
shallow washi paper box, a gift from its maker, Wataru Hatano, never moves.
Artist and craftsman, Hatano works in Kurotani, northern Kyoto, the traditional
home of this soft, deeply matte paper, where the mulberry trees that go into
washi-making are part of the landscape. The soft charcoal color of the box is
achieved with layer upon layer of tannin derived from fermented persimmon. It
is a box of treasure, where I keep my folding wooden ruler, brown Yama-guri ink
and folding wire-framed spectacles. For some reason it also holds a sprig of
dried roses from the garden, their petals faded to the color of belladonna.”
