Ayni is not about giving and taking being in balance . It is about offering and receiving . To give is to give away of what you seem to own . To offer and share is done in the awareness that you own nothing, that everything is given to you by a Sacred Source. You are the keeper of it and share it whenever it is the time to do so, be it money, food, your talents, your knowledge, your wisdom. And then there is the art of receiving wich means to only receive in joy and gratitude, without having to think how to repay or to return the gift. When things are offered in this spirit they can be received in this spirit and there is something Sacred happening .
Deep munay to all .

As Albert Camus noted, "Without work all life goes rotten. But when work is soulless, life stifles and dies." While we cannot ignore economic realities, we must also ensure that our work gives meaning and substance to our lives. It is necessary for men to decide anew, then, who they are and how they will spend their precious energy. No man may leave home or be in the world without suffering grievous wounds to body and soul. But he must learn to say, "I am not my wound nor my defence against my wound. I am my journey."

The wounds of life may crush the soul or they may quicken consciousness. But only ever-greater consciousness can bring luminosity to the journey. Miguel de Unamuno sounds the challenge:

Shake off this sadness, and recover your spirit. ...
Throw yourself like seed as you walk, and ...
don't turn your face for that would be to turn it to death,
and do not let the past weigh down your motion.
Leave what's alive in the furrow, what's dead in yourself,
for life does not move in the same way as a group of clouds,
from your work you will be able one day to gather yourself.
