How Far Do Ripples Go

When we toss a stone into a quiet lake…
we watch perfect circles flow
spreading out from that one act…
we see them grow...
and grow...
and grow.

And we marvel at the beauty…
and how easy it was to make.
with the simple toss of one stone…
endless ripples across the lake.

Which makes me wonder…

When we show another person an act of kindness or love,
when we toss a simple smile to a stranger, a friend, or a foe
spreading out from that one act…
how much will that kindness grow?

Hopefully, we will marvel at the beauty as we begin to understand…
how one simple act of kindness...of love 
can send endless ripples  across the land?
