The Splashes of Life

A grandfather took his grandson to the fishpond on the farm when he was about seven and told him to throw a stone into the water.

He told him to watch the waves created by the stone, and then he asked his grandson to think of himself as that stone.

"You may create a lot of splashes in your life, but remember the waves that come from those splashes will affect the peace of all your fellow creatures," he said.

"Remember that you are responsible for what you throw into your circle and that your waves will touch many other circles. Always try to live in a way that the waves that come from your circle send out the peace of your goodness to other circles."

"Remember the waves that come from anger and jealousy will also send those feelings to other circles. You are responsible for all the waves."

We cannot create world peace if we are riddled with inner conflict, hatred, doubt, and anger. We radiate the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside whether we voice them or not. Whatever is sloshing around inside of us is spilling out into the world, creating beauty or discord with all the other circles of life.

May your waves lift others!

Have a blessed day!!!
