“The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn another until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt.”

Frederick Buechner

Welcome to 2019, Everyone!!

Newsflash for our Beautiful New Year:

“You ARE important…

So VERY important.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Each of us has a “touch”…

Our own “Fingerprints on the world”, if you will.

And like fingerprints, we leave them behind for others to see.

They’re everywhere we’ve ever been.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your completed thoughts

Your words

Your actions

Are already

Thinking

Speaking

And acting

In places unseen and unheard by you.

We ~ our spiritual presence in this world ~ continue to

Think

Speak

And act

AFTER we are “done doing so” in this physical moment.

We leave our fingerprints

Everywhere we go.

This is how we can each be

Present

Everywhere.

So…

You and I?

We ARE important.

Crucially

Critically

Fundamentally

Important.

Our “touch”, as Buechner so eloquently puts it, goes out…and continues to do so.

The idea that I am “alive”…present…in this way elsewhere…?

That there are actions to come that are “rippling” from the “touch” of my thoughts and speech when I am no longer there to be involved in them…?

Wow…

That’s truly a colossal mind shift.

How does this realization change what I…

Will think

Will say

Will do?

Right now?

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Take a few moments to Pause…

And Ponder…

Where could we each go with this idea?

Ask:

“How do I see myself…

Moving in the parts of my world

When I am no longer physically there

To “see” what I am doing?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~

What fingerprints

Do you truly

Want

To leave

Behind?

2019

All over the world

Awaits

Our

Every

Touch.
