A stone thrown into a pond will send ripples out to the very edge, until every last bit of its kinetic energy has been dissipated throughout the surface of the water.
The disruption is transmitted across the face of the water until it spent and released. In the same way, each and every action touches everything else.
We are all part of one massive system that encompasses all things.
Some choose to label this interconnectivity as nature, other as God, and others still us energy. We may view this reality poetically, scientifically, religiously or perhaps some of all three.
No matter how you look at it, this moments connects in so many ways to other moments, to other beings that may be half a world away.
This interconnection need not be frightening or paralyzing. We might be inspired by it instead.
Since all our thoughts and actions radiate outward in time and space, we should do our best to make our impacts as positive as possible for those around us.
Start from the heart center, cultivate feelings of peace and love for all beings.
Picture this loving energy radiating outward to touch the whole universe.
Try to hold this attitude for a few quiet minutes before beginning your day.
