sqrl, what an interesting thread. Coincidentally, I was just thinking yesterday about the notion of "casting bread upon the waters." I have certainly found that in my own life, the more I give out, the more I get back.

I can think of it like the door to the heart goes both ways. If you open it to give love out, then it is open to receiving love. If you keep it closed and locked, nothing gets out or in.

And I have found that the more love I give out, the more I have to give. I've never found that I have a limited amount of love, and have to mete it out carefully to prevent running out. Like pruning a bush, when I give out love, twice as much fills in to replace it.

Thanks for the thoughts, sqrl.
