February 7, 2003 Chautauqua


From the Editor's Computer 

  A pebble tossed into a body of water affects the whole body of water, with ripples reaching the furthest edges.  So too, a little grain of sand dropping into a body of water affects the whole body of water, with hidden ripples spreading ever wider until reaching the edge.

   Our thoughts, actions and words are grains of sand that we are dropping into the body of water of our world around us.  Our moods influence and impact everyone we meet and interact with throughout the day.

   What ripples are you sending out into your world?  Are you sending out a good mood or a bad mood?  Are you adding to the negative ripples undulating around our world, or are you sending out positive ripples?

   By the same token, what negative moods are you (un)consciously picking up and internalizing (harmful for you) or passing on (harmful for others)?  Do you collect negative moods from everyone you see around you?

   Just as throwing a pebble into the water will not erase the ripples caused by the piece of sand, its ripples will overpower the sand’s at some point.  We need to consciously make a choice to only collect and disperse positive ripples into our world.  By doing so, we can affect the whole emotional climate of our world.

   What ripples are you sending out?
