Time Banking Math

By Edgar Cahn

We stand for what it means to be human

And human beings are not chattel.

There are domains which are above market, beyond price

Family, loved ones, justice, democracy, our planet, all that is holy

Not for sale at market price, at any price.

One hour, our piece of eternity

Fleeting but nonetheless, precious, sacred, eternal

That is what Time Banking means, declares, affirms and reaffirms

We are-- and We will not be diminished. Let it be.
