Yup, I think of it as ebbing and flowing like a river, and once you see it that way, you're never that bothered when you don't have much, or when you give some away to charity! :)
It always flows back. Sometimes I hold the coins at work, some minted in the 80s or earlier, and think about how many people have held them, have bought something they loved, or hated, how many of those people lived unique lives, or were dying as they held the coin.
Money has a strange transience to it, it is not beautiful, but it carries the energy of many people, and it moves always from place to place. :)
