Black Elk, a medicine man of the Oglala Sioux nation and devout Catholic Christian convert spoke about "give-away" ceremonies. He explained that when you give away your prized possessions some sort of spiritual energy is returned to the giver.
Yesterday I gave away some things including the only constant home I have ever known. When I was growing up my restless father moved us around and then as an adult I continued the habit. But 20 years ago I bought this little slice of heaven that became an anchor for my flying boy soul and body.
While I didn't give it away permanently , which may explain why I didn't feel any energy return to me, I did give it for a year to a wonderful couple. While moving mine and Susan's things out and into our new rental home I had to wonder what my life would have been like if I had given away more things.
Question: What things, if given away, would give you a return of spirit?
