Care
Concern
For Not Yet
Extending the self
To unknowable futures
Acting aware of potentialities
Taking a future-present standpoint
Not just a present-futures perspective
For all actions, interactions & transactions
Responsibility despite uncertainties of outcomes
In family, work, education, economy and environment
To encompass contemporaries & future beings not yet born
Sustainability expanded by relationships to future presents
Shifting concerns to encapsulate, engage & bind futures
Beyond a future orientation from & for the present
It requires deep changes in knowledge practices
To accompany actions to unknowable effects
Deeds rippling through space-time-matter
Embracing strangers and future beings
Inescapably implicated in actions
In processes in progress now
All interaction percolating
Towards open futures
Bounded by care
Lived through
