Caring

The philosopher John Dewey commented that we are made caring by the environment 

we live in.

We choose to become caring as a result of our experience.

I agree with that, gratitude projects us into a new level

 of seeing the world kindly.

If ever you wonder why bother, what's the point?

Know this; you are the environment that grows kind hearts

to change the world.

They don't pop up out of nowhere;

Mother Theresa didn't just arrive.

She was nurtured into becoming the agent 

of compassionate change.

Just as you have been, and are, seeding the world around you 

for more.  

Perhaps then, what we want is at the tip of our tongue.

Where the marvel arrives when we are able 

to reveal

to our wondering mind…

what love is all about
