Unnoticed

 If you do almost any good deed selflessly, unconcerned about being noticed, but out of love, compassion, or connection, then you probably won’t be noticed.  Serve people food in a soup kitchen, and you will generally be unnoticed.  You do kind deeds and are rarely thanked much less noticed.  It is not the action that gets you ignored.  It is the way you do it.  There are nasty bus drivers and they are noticed.  Nice bus drivers, not so much.  It is not that recipient people are so self-imploded, although sometimes this is the case.  It is more that in your kindness you have emptied yourself of “self.”  Jesus on the cross looks nothing like any God you could imagine.  It is because he emptied himself of his divinity, out of selfless and unconditional love.
