The Upside-Down Gift I Brought

When you get more than you give

When you are asked to bring something to share, and you bring something that is only meant for you and only benefits you, it feels wrong. It would be like being the only carnivore at a potluck, knowing everyone else is vegan, and you bring a meat loaf. But at a recent retreat I attended, that’s what I did. I ate my meat. And I got to eat their food.
