We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

STONE
We are all visitors—even when we are home. That is, our time in any relationship or place is ultimately limited. We are passing through: Nobody stays forever.How might we act if we thought of ourselves as guests in the lives of friends and family?We might also think of ourselves as uninvited, but not unwelcome, guests of the planet. And I think the rules for being good guests of the planet are just the same: Ask little, accept what is offered, and give thanks.

PONDER
I have enjoyed many adventures in the past month: met some new friends, connected with old friends, and even passed through limited friendships and relationships – after all, nobody stays forever.
I'll keep this extra short, the message of the week is to consider the above Stone's last line as potential goals for this week: "Ask little, accept what is offered, and give thanks."
