WHAT CAN’T BE BOUGHT OR SOLD

I had a dream……. A man came to me with the most exquisite, blooming plant in a unique vessel. I gushed over how incredibly wonderful I thought the flower was and he said, “yes, it’s for you, it’s yours”. I drew back, confused by my great desire for the flower but in fear of its cost. I told him I couldn’t afford it, that I only had a few dollars. He said, “No, this magnificent, flower is the rarest gift of all, it’s over two thousand years old and if it is nourished and cared for it will last forever; it cannot be bought or sold, it can only be received……. I understood. My resistance melted. I took the incredible flower in my trembling hands and rushed home; I knew it must be placed in the center of my house and kept there forever.
