and how we receive things,
are pivotal to the way we live our lives.
Do we perceive some things, such as socks, as utilitarian and not worthy of our attention?
When we give our full attention to something, we see it differently.
Do we receive some gifts as less desirable than others?
When we receive something, do we honour the gift and the giver by using that gift?
This can be a life-changing poem by Pablo Neruda.
