For the longest time, I had been afraid to engage socially, in a deep meaningful way. Meaningful in terms of mobilising work that helps others. I was spending years doing all this research on human development (to counter check if I had lost my mind). Up until yesterday, I was still thinking that this morning I was going to compile a list of research about human care, development, service (presumably to give authority to this work). I was still seeking permission to do something so fundamentally simple and intuitive.

So this is my conclusion and conviction: There is no need for a justification to care for a stranger.

And the longer we wait, the longer the other person in need is in suffering. And if we can bring some relief to the suffering of others, let’s do it.

In a space of love, what holds the process of growth is a vision. A beautiful vision. One that believes and protects the highest good that the person, humanity and the world can be. Even if nobody believes, if you believe it, it will happen. It happens because of your commitment to a daily, living, beautiful and awesome life. Life happens in small moments. It just unfolds bit by bit everyday. So when you allow it to unfold with full trust, that when it is in full bloom, it is a rose, then you will see the rose, even when you haven’t completed the blossoming.

And then you will see that the unfolding is limitless, so at every moment, you are a rose.

If you hold the vision.
