The biggest gift you can give is to be absolutely present, and when you’re worrying about whether you’re hopeful or hopeless or pessimistic or optimistic, who cares? The main thing is that you’re showing up, that you’re here and that you’re finding ever more capacity to love this world because it will not be healed without that.

Yes. I often tell people that they will never know the impact they have on others. A thought one expresses to another may take years to find a place in their mind and heart, though, so the speaker doesn’t ever know the effect they have had.
