Spot on Wednesday 4-28-22

Have you ever heard of the butterfly effect?

One day up at the lake I paused at my favorite spot to look for bull frogs and skip a few stones.

Frog legs were a delicacy back in the day and I did my part for the Friday Fish Supper with a side of legs to go with your perch.

Everything, I mean everything you do matters. Let me explain.

I found the perfect flat stone, it fit just right in my hand, and it was going to be a phenomenal skip. I reached back and with all my might I side armed that stone wildly around my body letting go at precisely the right time.

Almost throwing my elbow out it tumbled through the air for about 30 yards before it hit the water with a huge splash and sunk out of sight.

I was disappointed that there wasn’t any skip but what I did notice was the ripple it made on the surface of the lake.

Watching this ripple, the wave it made got bigger and bigger as it moved away from the spot it went in. I continued to watch this event unfold until it met the shore where I was standing much larger than where it started from.

Fast forward to today what seems to be insignificant changes does dramatically affect your life in the same way and in the things that surround you.

Once small it grows compounding into something much larger.

We’re only given one shot at this, choose to leave this a better place than you found it. #dbrn
