Generosity

"The real wealth comes from helping others." -- Cesar Chavez.

 

Thanks for sharing, friend!

Title: Ripples

 

If I can make a ripple,

with a stone thrown in the lake,

what ripples in my real life

do my thoughts and actions make?

 

My rocket climbs then dives down.

If I push you, will you fall?

To see the glass half empty,

does it change the thing at all?

 

Will one good turn bring others?

Is it just like people say?

Will all I think and do soon

circle 'round back into play?

 

Does generous or greedy

make a difference here and now?

Can butterfly wings beating

make a storm somewhere somehow?

 

I question and I wonder

are there answers, and in fact,

does cause-effect apply to

how I really want to act?

 

I can't unsplash a ripple

and I can't unspeak a word.

So I will act my best in case

the Universe has heard.
