你取之于我
是我得到的最好的礼物
当你知道我因施与你
而快乐
你明白，我的给予不是
你欠我的人情
而是因为我想活出对你的爱
欣然的接受，或许是最佳的赏赐
我无法将二者
分开
当你施与我
我给你我的接纳
当你取之与我
我感激你的赐予

Given To, by Ruth Bebermeyer
I never feel more given to
than when you take from me –
when you understand the joy I feel
giving to you.
And you know my giving isn’t done
to put you in my debt,
but because I want to live the love
I feel for you.
To receive with grace
may be the greatest giving.
There’s no way I can separate
the two.
When you give to me,
I give you my receiving.
When you take from me, I feel so
given to.
