THE IMPORTANCE OF ONE

 

If you’ve ever been apprehensive, nervous or dismayed

wondering if you’ve made a difference in this world…

or 

what kind of difference you have made….

 

Take a walk in nature..

it will help to ease your mind, renew your heart and invigorate your soul.

as you realize how so many things in nature…play a small but vital role.

 

Each star up in the heavens…as they bring a twinkle to your eyes

plays a crucial role each evening in lighting up the sky.

 

Every leaf on every branch…those you can and cannot see

are essential to the form, the function and the beauty of the tree.

 

Would a walk along the shore feel as magnificent or grand…

or as smooth beneath your feet without each single grain of sand?

 

As as you watch the ocean waves ebb and flow and never stop….

how can you not marvel at the importance of each single water drop?

 

As you walk in nature add yourself to this ever-growing list

For, like a star, a leaf, a grain of sand, a drop of water 

If you were not here to add your beauty to the world…

you…too…would be missed.…

 

So the next time you wonder about the kind of difference your one life has made

upon this spinning sphere

take a walk in nature

and think of all the people who your one life has touched 

and how much you would be missed…

if you were no longer here…
