📔My favorite passage of all time: “Once upon a time, I rambled, some neighbors included me in their circle of barter. They were in the habit of exchanging eggs and driving lessons, hand-knit sweaters and computer programming, plumbing and calligraphy. I accepted the generosity of their inclusion with gratitude. At first, I felt that, as a lawyer, I was worthless, that I had no barterable skills and nothing to contribute. What I came to realize, however, was that my value to the group was not calculated by the physical items I brought to it. These people included me because they wanted me to be part of their circle; they valued my participation apart from the material things I could offer. So I gave myself to them, and they gave me fruit cakes and dandelion wine and smoked salmon and, in their doing, their goods became provisions. Cradled in this community whose currency was a relational ethic, my stock in myself soared. My value depended on the glorious intangibility , the eloquent invisibility of my just being part of the collective-- and in direct response I grew spacious and happy and gentle.” - The Alchemy of Race and Rights by Patricia J Williams
