Caregivers have superpowers! Radical Loving Care illuminates the divine truth that caregiving is not just a job. It is Sacred Work.
What does it mean to be?
—–
Be the kind hand that reaches out
to calm someone’s need.
Be the heart that opens
in spite of its own pain.
Be the arm that circles to salve
another’s pain, strong as
an oak limb, gentle as its leaves
Awaken the best angels within you.
Christen your life with meaning.
Join the servants of light.
Be a lover.
The highest honor we can bring to another is in the act of “being” rather than “doing”. Our very presence is often the greatest gift we can bring.

Since part of my job is to change people’s consiousness (to protect them from pain) I am glad you put my attention on the importance of being. Your little poem is very inspiring. Thank you.
