Pebble

Another poem from my book of "saved" things.


A single pebble
of love
cast into the pool
of mind,
sends ripple
of feeling
from center
to edge
growing
widening
repeating
a meaning
catching
the light
and the shadow
making music
of motion.
John D Engle, Jr.

The imagery of this poem is very meaningful to me. I love to think of that pebble of love broadening ever outward. There was a movie several years ago called Pay It Forward.

Like some other kids, 12-year-old Trevor McKinney believed in the goodness of human nature. Like many other kids, he was determined to change the world for the better. Unlike most other kids, he succeeded.

The whole idea is that when someone does something nice for you you don't pay them back. You do something nice for someone else and pay it forward. Good idea. That way the love grows and makes the world a better place.

Something to think about for today. Be loved. Hugs. jcs (pop)
