 From the Telegraph.com

Care- A burdened state of mind, as that arising from heavy responsibilities; worry. Close attention; painstaking application.

"Often it’s resisting that temptation to tell people what they should do, even when we are sure we know the right answers, or to take over the life of someone who has made a mistake or who has suffered from the mistakes of others.  To care means to cry out with, whether in anguish or in joy, to put ourselves right beside another human being, hold their hand, and tell them, “I am here with you.  I believe in you.  I will walk with you through this valley.”  It is an inconstant kind of presence, I admit, but one no less meaningful because of it.  When our care is genuine, it will allow space, even as a part of our spirit remains with another."
Rev. Daniel Schatz
