It is the time of year to give gifts, but the best gift you can give to someone is simply the power of your presence. This quote by the poet Mark Nepo says it nicely:
“To listen is to lean in softly with a willingness to be changed by what we hear.”
You really can listen someone into a deeper understanding of themselves. And you can be transformed at the same time. Chia pets are cool, but never underestimate the kindness of giving someone your compassionate attention.
