The need and the gift

July 1, 2010 Andrew Hook

Stephan was having his lunch outside at the Edinburgh Botanic Gardens where he works. He was careful to finish off the remains of his sandwich, ensuring there was no waste, something he abhorred. Whilst doing this he noticed a robin feeding also. But it left what it did not need or want. It was satisfied and not worried about waste and flew off regardless. My thought: the need is less than the gift, what is is more than we need.
