A neighbour's tree drops fruit on your side of the fence and you had nothing to do with any of it. Not the planting, not the weather, not the sixty years of growing.

Blessed is only the old word for that arithmetic: more coming in than you put in. The sum works out in your favour more often than it feels like, mostly because unearned things don't announce themselves as gifts.
