Gratitude and Reciprocity

“Gratitude and reciprocity are the currency of a gift economy, and they have the remarkable property of multiplying with every exchange, their energy concentrating as they pass from hand to hand, a truly renewable resource. I accept the gift from the bush and then spread that gift with a dish of berries to my neighbor, who makes a pie to share with his friend, who feels so wealthy in food and friendship that he volunteers at the food pantry. You know how it goes.” -Robin Wall Kimmerer, from her article “The Serviceberry: An Economy of Abundance,” in Emergence Magazine

How might you pass along the gift of gratitude today?
