not much money, but a rich you;
not many things, but an open being,
available to millions of things.

Gift future generations in proportion to your gratitude.
The nature of life is that we pay forward
our biological creation and nurture.

choose to take "pay it forward" farther - much farther.

and ready to play again.

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
