Every time you do a good deed, you shine the light a little farther into the dark. And the thing is, when you’re gone that light is going to keep shining on, pushing the shadows back.  ~Charles de Lint
           It is hard to remember sometimes that even the smallest of actions matter.  Recently in a conversation with my step daughter she wondered, in amazement, at the idea that you could pass a yawn around the world.  Yawns are indeed contagious.  A yawn can pass from family to friends and on to strangers, endlessly traveling forward in time, until the yawn that may have begun with you has returned again.   

I like to think its the same with smiles and kinda actions.  With embraces and greetings.  When we fill our actions with love and our intentions with kindness we shine a little more light into the shadows of the world as Charles de Lint aptly phrased.   

I keep this idea close to my heart remembering that the intentions I set for the present create lasting echoes into the future.  They ripple forward with their essence influencing moments not yet passed.  It is with this knowledge that I work hard to greet each day with optimism and a quite promise to myself to love without boundary, forgive with out a grudge and live with empathy and compassion.  It is my hope that by setting these intentions everyday that I will make the world a better place. That like that yawn I will pass forward, through small actions, a compassion that will shine a light in the darkest corners.

    Hi, I'm Liz. I like to write about life and the wisdom I cull from it. I use words and images to inspire empathy and connection with each other and the world.
