Rather than "expecting" to be repaid
when we "loan" something to someone,

Request that any "loan" that we make be repaid FORWARD,
when the recipient is able,
and then completely forget about the "loan."

the "loan" is repaid - or is not repaid.

you will notice the gentle touch
and will be able to respond. Remember...
There are no small acts of kindness.
Every compassionate act makes large the world.
- Mary Anne Radmacher
