People who volunteer at the recycling center or soup kitchen through a church or neighborhood group can come to feel part of something 'larger.' Such a sense of belonging calls on a different part of a self than the market calls on. The market calls on our sense of self-interest. It focuses us on what we 'get.

When giving comes directly from the heart, it can never disappoint or embarrass.

Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heart away; Give pearls away and rubies, But keep your fancy free.

Life must have its sacred moments and its holy places. We need the infinite, the limitless, the uttermost -- all that can give the heart a deep and strengthening peace.
