A Drop in the Ocean

Instead of feeling small and powerless, each one of us has the choice of what we focus on and what we feed our thoughts. What is your expectation of the people you have contact with every day?


Are we sitting around and waiting for THEM (government) to sort it out while we huff and puff and sigh at the state of our country? Everything starts with us. No matter who you are and what your life circumstances are. Your attitude and your actions, your non participation or participation has a direct influence on your life and everything around you. We need to start with creating the dream of world peace within ourselves first. If our inner world is not calm – how can our outer world be anything but chaos?


“Each human life is like a drop of clean spring water. Beautiful and perfect, an entire universe contained within a single drop. Individually and on its own, a drop of water is simply a drop of water. Combined drops become a trickle, then a stream, then a river and ultimately a lake or the ocean.” Thich Nhat Hanh


We need to combine our intention and contribution to that which is greater than the individual drop. This is where real change takes place. We have many different cultural streams and beliefs, yet we still all flow toward the same destination.

It is YOUR choice as to which river you are contributing to:

No awareness – just flowing – I don’t make a difference river – or - I am conscious, awake and aware of the value of each drop river?


Possibilities for change are within each one of us. Planting seeds of peace is what we cultivate in our thoughts and what we teach our children by example.
