We often "outsource" the tending. When we get a hotel room, we're paying someone to clean and prepare it for us and to tend to it after we leave. Those who do such tending can relate to too many stories of abuse, destruction, and theft. It's almost like many people who rent a hotel room feel entitled to take and feel no connection to those who came before or those who will come after.
Imagine you are taking your family on their first camping trip. You visited the site early in the season and knew you wanted to stay there three months later.
What if everyone who camped at that site that season depleted it? Left trash? Never bothered to clear the ashes from the fire ring? Abused the picnic table?
You arrive after a long journey to find it will take two hours just to clean up. This shared, community resource has beenโฆ depleted. Damaged.
Now, how might it be different if those who had an attitude of stewardship were there before youโฆ
+ The campfire was not only cleared out but also ready for lighting, with a small collection of logs nearby.
+ The tent spot was free of trash and had been smoothed out.
+ A note welcomed you, wishing that you enjoy your time there as much as they did, told you about a sweet hidden swimming hole, and invited you where possible to leave the campsite even better than you found it.
For us who are devoted to co-creating a thriving lifestyle for everyone, stewardship feels like a core attitude. At the campsite, renting a home, picnicking at the park, engaging with fellow humansโฆ if our approach is to seek where possible to enhance well-being, mutual thriving is likely.
