Our vocabulary has not yet caught up with the budding concept of gift economy that we are nurturing in our hearts.
There are plenty of words for things we don’t want: Cost. Dues. Fees. Payments. And there are words that used to bring Interdependence to bear on human relationships but have come to be applied to oppressive financial relationships: Debt. Obligation. Exchange. Trade. We want to remember the pro-social meaning of these words. We want to practice Charles Eisenstein’s Sacred Economics and live in The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible.
If we are joyfully and generously sharing our gifts, then we do not want to inflict a cost on anyone. Yet the gifts, skills, and other resources that we are sharing are precious and valuable – priceless, in fact!
We want to flourish and thrive!
Our vision of a gift economy is clear and bright, and we accept that our society isn’t there yet. We are at virtually 100% actualization of that vision among ourselves, but when it comes to navigating among the community of communities…. Well, that’s another story!
