One Embrace

Kevin E. expressed gratitude for charlotte taylor

Charlie, thank you for showing up for me. I appreciated when you brought groceries and other delicious foods for me when I was in my early recovery last December. Thanks for the seafood chowder, fish and chips, and sandwich. Thanks for sharing tea with me last time you came over. I look forward to sharing tea and space again (we can do it socially distanced, too!). Thank you for blessing me with your sound healing work in all the ways you do that in person and remotely. I appreciate you! Blessings on your day! :-)

Tea Poem
Willow branches graze the grass,
As I sit in the shade drinking tea.
A note from a flute blows clearly,
Mingling with the sound of rain.
I could sit here alone forever,
And still I'd never feel lonely.

Anonymous poem inscribed on an
old Yi Hsing tea pot

Carly Giesen expressed gratitude for Ben Moseley

It's a rare opportunity to get to meet (and hand-feed) the ducks that laid your delicious eggs, but Ben provided both nourishment and delightful introduction.
Many thanks for your gift and your excitement about Kindista!

Thomas introduced me to this site and has shown me nothing but kindness and love. It gives me hope when I've been worn down.

Thank you for filming my recent talk on gift economy at Oregon Country Fair. I really appreciate your help in spreading the word about Kindista and the growing culture of sharing we are creating.

Julie Lambert expressed gratitude for Jason Lieberman

Jason took care of me when I had a traumatic brain injury. He even fed my cats, and I was not a very nice person because of the injury. I will love him always for caring for me.

Becca C. expressed gratitude for Margot Rawlinson

I got to spend 30 minutes with her during an entry, exploratory reiki session this week. I've received reiki before and to compare, Margot was incredibly intuitive- also fun and light. Her studio is a peaceful, no-frills space. After the healing we spoke for a bit and Margot offered a few free samples as well. Over all, the experience felt professional. It was a self reset.

Kavana Tree Bressen expressed gratitude for Larry Kaplowitz

Larry, thank you for being so responsive around ride-sharing for events at your place. Every time i check in to see about finding a ride out there for some cool concert or workshop, you write back very quickly with several people i can check with for carpooling. This is walking the talk on environmentalism, community, and the sharing economy. People like you help make it possible and enjoyable for people like me to live car-free. Thank you!
