Wonderful images, Alan. I was reminded of the unseen power of our own ripples this week. A man I know came up to me at a conference and told me that a presentation I gave several years ago on something like “avoiding toxic work environments” made such a difference to him. I barely remember my presentation, although I can guess at what I would have been saying. We never know the impact we make

on people. And so much of it comes down to that simple idea you express: Kindness!

Thank you so much, Jane. And indeed, when kindness and generosity of spirit is at the heart of who we are and what we say and do, it makes a difference!

This is lovely, Alan. It's so true that the smallest gesture can have a lasting impact, can stay softly present in our essence for days, or months. Just the smallest thing can have the greatest impact.
