We are like raindrops in a pond

Kerry A. Thompson

Sometimes I can become overwhelmed by how much help and healing is needed in the world today. The idea that we're like raindrops in a pond helps me keep being hopeful, moving forward. If we are raindrops, then as we land on the pond, we add our ripples, touching others and being touched in turn. And we also become part of the pond, joining with all the other raindrops.

Every action, big or small, that is done with an open, generous heart and an understanding of your connection to everything will bring the ripples you hope for. You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to do it all. Just try to be the best raindrop you can be. Our pond will be the better for it.
