Nature can always provide images that may be looked at as symbols in life. Take dropping a pebble in a pond. Outwardly flowing ripples occur. Concentric circles they call them. Many things start at some point and flow outward to another place.
In housing, you may buy an initial house and add on to it. An addition, a pool, repairs, new appliances, upgrades, paint, enhanced landscaping. When you sell it, it is not where you started.
Think of the boundaries of your mind. You only stay in the center, in your comfort zone, until you expand out to another place, or realize the only limitations on yourself are put there by you. You have to start moving in that direction to get to the bigger, better you. Even with knowledge it is ever expanding and never static.
Finally, love in the world. We must at our core, love ourselves enough so that we can share that love and reach out, in ever expanding circles to touch others. Are you sharing that love today? Are your ripples reaching to the ends of the pond? May your ripples touch others so they may set forth other good concentric circles. This is one instance in life where the "don't make waves" saying doesn't apply. Splash to your heart's content. We need those good vibrations out there!!
Hi Gary,
Thanks again for the uplifting article. I admire how positive and thoughtful your posts always seem to be. Have a great day! Michael A. Caruso
Gosh I miss those baby smiles! Beautiful post.
Michael: Thank you for your generous comment. I try.
Susan: I thought Moms could relate to the baby smiles. They are precious, and they do grow up so fast.
Gary, you certainly touch my heart with your uplifting thoughts. You make my day! :)
Becky: And I always appreciate all your thoughts too.
Gary, It is so beautiful... If we can expand our love around and touch as far as we can others... and how perfect this world would be... if we become the recipients of others waives of love.
Arina: You are right. If we send out waves of love it has the possibility of affecting many lives. Being recipients of others' love creates a transformation in us.
Concentric circles...ripple effect.....chain reaction, domino's ....contagious smiles....I love staring at the water, whether it be a pond, river, lake or ocean.......its ever changing.....sometimes calm, often deep...Like you! :-) or is that always calm always deep? smile
I'm splashing as fast as I can, Gary!! Nicely written post, a deep subject but one we should all consider more often.
Bonnie: Keep on splashing, get someone else wet with all your positive vibes.
