Apparent

Apparent:

it's what's apparent - and this is why we care, a notice of compassion that arises in the very moment of another's suffering. We find this as a natural expression, exactly and only what's occurring now, without need of explanation, nor any room for doubt. We care simply because it's what the moment calls for, our own response given freely to another's comfort. 

it all happens entirely on its own.

and this too is how we come to love, what we offer one another in an honest moment of our encounter - it's an easy exchange of openness for whatever someone has to give right now, without bias, nor concern for our own capacity to hold. We love without true limit, from first view the world is immediately accepted, we're at home in original sense, and everything belongs exactly as it is. 

nothing has to change for us to love,

it's all apparent from each moment on - just this, whatever's occurring and our initial response before a single thought is given. We care because we share a common ache together, that we each know a form of suffering once believed to be ours alone. What's apparent is our own brokenness and how we instantly see that we belong together, healed by this point of contact between us. We love because we recognize ourselves as whole, it's apparent, and underlies our every moment. 

it's what we know as true.
