There is an ancient story that is our common heartbeat. It speaks to us, deeply, quietly and simply; its whispers are heard in the rhythms of our ordinary lives, in between the rushing activity of our regular days.

I attended two events in the past two weeks that give true meaning to this spirit of giving during the holiday season.
