Drop a Pebble in a Pond

For a moment, imagine standing on the banks of a quiet pond… the surface of the pond is like glass.

As a pebble is tossed into the middle of the pond, ripples extend out in 360 degrees from the point of impact, moving outwards in an ever-expanding circle to impact anything in their path.

Those ripples represent the effect or results of our generosity, of our kindness.

The actual decision is made the moment the pebble leaves our hand.  It’s too late after that, to change or alter the course of cause and effect.

But, do not miss this point – we are responsible for all the ripples we create in our lives.

What happens next when the ripples reach the banks of the point…?

They do not stop there.  They reverse direction and return back to the source.

What goes around, does indeed, come back around and we get back what we put out into the world – we reap what we sow.
