Kindness

In a relationship, kindness and its related gifts are usually wasted, taken for granted at the moment and valued only afterwards when it is far too late.

Nor can you show anyone anything they will appreciate at the time, as they will only get it later, and sense a little of what could have been if they were more aware before pushing possibility away.

None of this is an argument against kindness or exploration, only against the expectation of being appreciated or understood.

Those come after sunset, when the day's labor has been spent. Its value was assumed to be nothing because it came freely and was common. Only when gone is its rarity realized.

To some we will give despite pessimistic expectations because we sense what they might be. Our disposition is timeless and separate from circumstances. We remain as we are and always shall.

We are able to give because we are abundant and replenishing.
