Kindness Acknowledged

An anonymous gift. Generous, kind, and unexpecting of recognition. Giving with no selfish motive, leaving the benefactor no chance for reward, the recipient no ability to directly reciprocate. One of few truly pure, noble, and uniquely human acts. The inspiration for such deeds known only to the gifter, the receiver left to determine the way to best honor their unexpected present.

Regardless of the nature of the gift, gratitude must be experienced by any decent recipient. If truly it is the thought which counts, then under these circumstances the thought behind the present is the ultimate benevolence.

As the humble beneficiary of an anonymous gift, this author aspires to utilize said present to the best of his abilities, making the most of an unplanned opportunity. It is the hope that the goods produced with the tools bestowed stand as adequate testament to kindness and generosity.

If reading this short article heightens your awareness of a blessing received, it is a success. If, as you read this, you recognize yourself to be the object of the herein detailed gratitude, my literary arrow has hit its mark.

Thank-you.
