I believe, too, in the butterfly effect. The coupling of love with the butterfly effect means that every time I greet another person with kindness, my action ripples forward, positively impacting the universe of seven billion people. ~ Casey , Karen. 52 Ways to Live the Course in Miracles: Cultivate a Simpler, Slower, More Love-Filled Life (Kindle Locations 614-616). Red Wheel Weiser. Kindle Edition.
A butterfly flits from flower to flower,
picking up pollen, depositing it,
no obvious plan, just part of the beauty,
spreading the beauty, prolonging it,
making possible the next spring’s glory.
Our role is the butterfly’s role,
spreading love like pollen, sharing ours,
causing a loving response with our smile,
our kind words, our caring, our understanding.
We pick up the love we receive in response
and spread that to the harried clerk,
the driver in the next car, the son or daughter,
husband or wife we share time with,
and our butterfly effect carries on,
touching people who spread it from us,
wiping out anger, fear, distrust
by spreading love to all we meet,
knowing that love is massive enough
to cure the conflict, remove distrust,
to impact the universe, transforming it,
for seven billion people, one at a time.
