My little pebble of peace is my thought that everyone is precious. 

Pebbles of Peace Pathway 2.50 –

Little Ripples

Once again, 

I am given the opportunity 

to add to the peace and calm 

or add to the concern.

By my lights, 

I am not even permitted 

to add to the concern.

I must add 

to the peace and calm.

You see, 

every thought 

we throw into the ring 

makes a little ripple.

The more throwing power

 we have, 

the greater the ripple.

The media 

is creating great ripples 

because of its throwing power.

But 

I have a little bitty 

counter.

I know that 

if I start a ripple 

from another direction, 

it will lessen the momentum 

of the giant ripple.

And so 

the little bitty ripple 

that I am starting 

is this.

I have 

a little pebble of peace.

My little pebble of peace 

is my thought 

that everyone is precious.

I see it 

in the eyes of little children, 

their preciousness.

I see it 

in the eyes of adults 

when I tell them how much 

I appreciate what they are doing.

I see it

 everywhere 

that I can express gratitude 

and recognition and support.

And so you see, 

we all have the opportunity, 

through our little pebbles of peace, 

to create many little ripples.

I am so grateful 

for the many people 

who add so much to my life.

You, 

and all of us, 

are very precious.
