Our Only Role

Our only role: 

to offer care, that's it really, simple, our only role here is to offer care - and this is how are values are shown, expressed, through every little thing we give our attention, a meaningful act of infinite tenderness and love. Nothing else truly matters here, all else is just distraction, avoidance, trivial in the course of our existence. We are here to offer care to each other, to ourselves and the things we value, it's our only role and the reason our lives have meaning. 

truly.

and by this care I mean attentiveness, that we do things in such a way as to show that our actions express the treasure of our commitment, every act is full of tenderness and grace, perhaps not consciously so, but deeply expressed, naturally, a reflection of why we hold the world in value. By no means is this an inconvenience or contrived in any way. It's an easiness of being, unforced, and it's simply who we are and how we're meant to navigate through life, to appreciate every gift that's offered, the miracle of our attention and that we have the ability to cherish each other, recognizing things of beauty, and devote ourselves to the actions that enhance the world by their performance. 

it can by anything at all, a small act of complete care to it's performance, done in such a way that it escapes the world's notice, almost, but not quite so, for these acts accumulate in great beauty, adding to the tenderness of world in ways beyond our current understanding. It's as if our attentiveness is returned to us through the very actions we perform, that the things we value give us meaning, fulfillment, and this is the true purpose of capacity, to fill the inherent emptiness of our original nature with things of beauty, actions of great care and tenderness, that everything matters through the gift and grace of our attention. 

truly, our only role here...

is to offer this care.
