Of Care

Of care:

of care, and it returns to simply this - that through seeing our own belonging there's naturally space for others as well. Everyone and everything belong. This is a perfect acceptance, exact, and holds room for our own judgments, our demands for change, and impatience for the pace of others. Nothing has to be found different than it is right now. 

it's an easy message, that everything belongs. 

this isn't a practice, it's just the natural way that life unfolds. The present moment is always accepted, through whatever tragedy it may holds, however deep our grief or sadness. Even our desperation for things to be somehow other than they are is held in this compassion and readily accepted. Life always allows without bias. 

if we know this, remembering, we become more tender in response to others. We know of wounds that are unseen because we've bled them too. That life has allowed our hurt and suffering, doesn't diminish our care, and we extend ourselves in whatever heartfelt manner that we're called to. Life aligns us to compassion, to be of aid to those in need. If there's a practice it's gained though simply being alive, broke and opened by the full spectrum of all life offers. Through this we again, constantly, return to love, healing to the very moment of our wounds. 

this isn't something that we do, it's done through our surroundings and by our surrender. Life heals itself in manner that may not be of our choosing. Our only role is to live, to simply be, and continue in our response to life. 

it's all there is to do.
