Heavenly Butterfly

Everything is connected. Every word, every action, every thought. Nothing happens without consequence, without touching everything and everyone else. Consider the still pond. Toss a pebble into the center and concentric rings from the disturbance begin emanating on the surface towards the sides of the pool. Observe carefully and you will see the rings rebound back from the shore at oblique angles, eventually touching even the seemingly hidden shores. This is the observable part of the reaction, what of that which happens beyond our sight? As our pebble falls through the water on its journey to the bottom of the pond it continues to send out waves, though invisible to the eye, touching every part of the pond and every creature that calls our pond home.

The effect of our pebble reverberating in the pond is akin to our thoughts, words and actions effect on our selves and the world about us. What we are reverberates throughout the world, mostly unseen or consciously noticed, but the effect is there nonetheless. The analogy of “a butterfly flaps its wings in Africa and a drought happens in China” has been used by climatologists to suggest that the smallest actions can influence major change is illustrative.

Never doubt your importance or connection with the Divine. You are the literal child of the Most High. Regard yourself accordingly and assert your true place in thought and deed as the demonstration of God’s love and guidance and in so doing, Heaven rejoices.
