ripples

(honeyboy...sabbathing)

Maybe I’m not making big changes in the world, but if I have somehow helped or encouraged somebody along the journey then I’ve done what I’m called to do.

We don't often get to know the ripples we create with our actions. In my work, I usually see one person at a time, yet each one of them touches more people than I know. If I make a difference to the one--I make a difference to all the rest, too.

Nice.
