Dear all,
A couple of weeks ago, Ira (a member of our congregation) brought me on a beautiful hike. As magnificent as the vista was against the gorgeous flowers, Ira pointed out a phenomenon that I so easily could have overlooked…
It was a snail crossing the path, leaving behind a tiny trail.
It really made me think. No matter what we are doing – we always leave a trail behind. Our actions, our words, our gestures (as well as our inactions, our silence, and our indifference) … they all count. And whether we realize it or not, others notice at any given moment in time.
What trail are you leaving behind, and how will your choices today create a better world for tomorrow?
Ira and I had a lovely hike. The trail he left in my heart through our conversation transformed my week!
With love and shalom.
