Having rudimentarily explained my views on the subject of giving and receiving, I will continue a bit further into the impenetrable depths of human relationships. Such a subject, I am slightly overwhelmed by it myself despite bringing it up under my own volition!
Giving is an active gesture. Receiving appears as an inactive state. Giving is an action. It is done. Receiving is a state. It is a state of being. For one to be, (s)he must be still. Must be free. Must have space. A jammed closet cannot hold any more boxes. A jam-packed one can only collect dust, as nothing in it has the capacity to move or room to expand.
For one to be able to give, (s)he must have something to offer. An empty refrigerator cannot feed a single soul and the last crumb has been eaten by ants long ago.
This is where the interaction between the two people in a relationship can become a thing of beauty, a never-ending exchange in a form of a dance. And what serves as the music to which both are moving to? Well, that is the deep understanding of such an interplay.
And so the dance is on: one invites, the other accepts. One gives, the other receives. One is full, the other collects. The giver and the receiver roles reverse, and the flow is on. The conversation is on. Both the doing and the being are ignited and remain lit, switching between the two as needed to remain connected. To remain of service. To remain mutually fulfilled.
As so blatantly stated in the previous entry, I, once again, would like to acknowledge the beauty and the useful nature of the giving and the receiving, of the masculine and the feminine, of a man and a woman. May we appreciate each other.
