Gratitude
As children raised by strawberries, we were probably unaware that the gift of berries was from the fields themselves, not from us. Our gift was time and attention and care and red-stained fingers. Heart berries, indeed.

"Respect one another, support one another, bring your gift to the world and receive the gifts of others, and there will be enough for all."
