2012 … A shorter stay made Longer

And then, just a few weeks after settling in for what I thought was going to be a month-long stay, I was asked to remain in Stuttgart for quite a bit longer and, seeing as how no one else had asked me to be anywhere else at that point, I said Yes to the same. After all, just as it is not what we do for others but why we choose to Do it (i.e. solely for them, and not at all for ourselves), so too is it not important where we Care for others, as long as that Caring is done both humbly & wholeheartedly …

“Your love is as stable as you are: It’s not about how good a person makes you feel, but rather what good you can do for them … Contrary to popular opinion, we are all a vast brotherhood of human beings whose very survival hinges not on what we keep, but on what we give. And it is in the giving that we not only survive to live another day, but that we thrive to celebrate the same.” ~ via Criss Jami & Craig Lounsbrough
