Proposition: What you want to give most is what you want to receive most.
Demonstration:
- To give something is to express love from the inside to the outside.
- The reason for doing so is, that something new may enter at this inner location that was previously occupied with what has now been expressed.
- The resulting emptiness inside is what is called attention, and attention paid to love outside, invites this outside love to flow into this inner location.
- Therefore, what you want to give most is what you want to receive most.
Q.E.D.
The primary characteristic of any living system is openness - what is inside flows to the outside, to make room for what is outside to flow inside.
Thoughts?

I love this, dear Ron. Thanks for posting it.
Reminds me a bit of something I use: if I want to find out what “I want to be doing”, I simply need to take a look at what I AM doing.. :-)
