{bon mot} monday | ripples of kindness
As my prayers for peace intertwine with the millions of others being offered up, I’ve wrapped my heart around my belief that a collective consciousness anchored in goodness will inspire the actions necessary to end senseless violence and heart-wrenching tragedy.
Whenever my thoughts are swept into a current of fear and helplessness, I close my eyes and focus on this image — a ring of ripples created by a single pebble being tossed. Then, I open my eyes and perform an act of kindness. The ripple effect reminds me to do whatever I can, wherever I am to be a proponent of peace.
