Remember the pots hammered by spoons from high Manhattan windows,
and parades of cars and pick-up trucks holding dear the medical
professionals responding to covid-19. This book is part of that
chorus, that march, to express appreciation for the giving of care.
And beyond doctors and nurses, bless their hearts, to mothers
caring for their babies, for captains for their teams, for the
soon-to-be widowers for their wives and teachers for their
students, but also for the ranchers for their cattle and the
contemplative world for our environment. This is a book to think
more closely of the support for care, individual as it so often
will be, to be woven more closely together in a paradigm of care.
Care is always prominent. Care for others, of the family, care for
those of the tribe, care for animals and homes and gardens and
properties, self-care. And the purse. Even without teaching,
compensation, or legislation, care survives, but even with these
helpings, it falls short of the need. We live in a crisis of care.
Thinking explicitly and beyond health care. There is no mechanism
of state and conscience that delivers care to all the venues of
need, and seldom in the amounts needed. The reservoirs of care are
far from empty, but at a mark that needs topping up. There is need
for care advocacy, a care ethic, a paradigm. This book is about
that paradigm. A care paradigm may bring comfort and recovery more
fully to the people and organic creations of the world. The
paradigm hears the moan of indifference. It draws upon the eyes of
the heart. The paradigm is about how we see the need for care. The
care paradigm, the grand beholding, is manifest in how we provide
for others, how we nurture them, give succor, how we are disposed,
and are not, to sacrifice to relieve their hurt. It is not only
caring for those visibly needing care, unable to care for
themselves, but caring for all. It is having a disposition that the
hurts, large and small, that all of us carry, arouse concern and
appreciation from and for each individual, the community and the
world.
