"Given To" lyrics by Ruth Bebermeyer, found on the album, "Given To", and published in J. Rosenburg's "Nonviolent Communication" as practiced in "Compassion Therapy" as felt in "EarthHealth Resonance" through sacred economic co-empowerment.
An important truth of compassion therapy endorses co-investment, cooperatively sharing from a back-and-forth healthy heart, to receive a wealthier, more resonant, mind, soul, improved by NonZero-Sum win/win inspirations more strongly than Zero-Sum win/lose aspirations. To improvise on a Giving To Ruth Bebermeyer melody, I always feel less given to when you won't take from me-- When you don't understand the joy I feel when heard by peaceful you. And, you don't know my giving is not done to put you in my awe, but because I want to grow this love I feel to win with you. To receive life's grace may be Earth's greatest health. There's no way we could separate the two--Earth and life grow wealth. When Earth gives to me, I give you my receiving. When you won't hear from me, I feel Earth not given to, And, when you take from me, I can feel Earth given True.
