Episode notes

"I don't ever expect favors necessarily in return, or some sort of formal expression of thanks," he says. "But there is something about certain degrees of kindness that come with an expectation of at the very least gratitude and appreciation" He urges us to strive as much as possible to be more like 'the most latter example'

Do you take credit for your deeds? Do you note them down in a sort of "Virtue ledger"? I think most of us do from time to time. In today's meditation, Marcus encourages himself (and us) to be more like a grape vine. Which will only make sense if you listen.
