Caring

No one cares how much a person knows until they know how much a person cares. I am sure everyone has heard that saying but do we really take notice or are we so consumed with getting our point of view across that we ignore others? I have been blessed and humbled in current events in my life which lead me to question myself. Do I care about others or is all about me? If I am honest, I have to admit my human weakness and say yes, it is all about me. However, there are moments when I am so overcomed with the realities of life that the selfishness is overshadowed by grief for others. Two very dear people in my life went on to eternity and we celebrated their lives on February 12th of this year same time but different timezones. Being torned between the two, we relied on Devine intervention. Both celebrations of life were well attended and prayers across the vastness of water and time were felt by so many caring people. In this instance, we all put down our consumption for our own needs to show our compassion for each other. We all knew this moment in time that we all cared.
