Giving lives in a domain ranging from deep symbolism to basic housekeeping. It is the currency of the small-scale resilient community. It is sometimes magic, in that some kinds of gift can be given over and over again without lossβ€”love, for example, and (in a different sense, since time cannot really be replenished) the gift of reciprocal service to each other. The β€œreciprocal” part happens, but not by arrangement. This is the opposite of transparency: you cast your gift upon the waters, and what comes back is trust.
