There was once a wise woman traveling in the mountains who found a
precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler
who was hungry, and she opened her bag to share her food. The
hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked if she might give
it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left,
rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough
to give him security for a lifetime. But only a few days later he
came back to return the stone to the woman who had given it to him.
"I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is,
but I'm giving it back in the hope that you can give me something
even more precious. I want you to give me what you have within you
that enabled you to give me the stone."

Sometimes in our continual drive to get ahead, we forget that the
those things we gather around us, no matter how precious they might
seem, pale in comparison to the love and light we hold within.
