Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself
and know that everything in this life has a purpose.

Everyone should carefully observe
Which way their heart draws them,
And then follow that way
With all their strength.

I found some time to be silent this week, and I heard a request for
more silence. I am going to honor that request by pressing PAUSE
on Ripples. For the first time in the almost six years of Ripples,
I shall skip the next few "Monday Morning Splashes" and I promise
a renewed, replenished Paul upon my return.
In the meantime, try this:
Shhhhhhhhhhhh.
Get really quiet for a moment.
Listen to your thoughts.
Listen to your feelings,
Listen to your soul.
Act upon what you hear,
Trust your truth.
Peace,
Paul

Ripples v6.19: Ripples of YOUR QUEST!
Ripples v6.19: Paul's FREE Weekly Splash of Inspiration for 11,000+

If we did all we were capable of doing,
we would literally astonish ourselves.
-Thomas Edison, submitted by Ruth M., Janesville, Wisconsin
=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= BOULDER =o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Without a quest, life is quickly reduced to bleak black and wimpy white,
a diet too bland to get anybody out of bed in the morning.
A quest fuels our fire.
It refuses to let us drift downstream gathering debris.

I do apologize if you didn't receive last week's Ripples. We will have a new system by fall, but until then we will unfortunately be straining our current set up. Ah, the growing pains of adolescence! Please
know you can ALWAYS peek at our archives to see previous issues:

We are on a quest here at The Ripples Project to build a sturdy new home that will allow all of us to
create more powerful and more sustainable Ripples. And what is YOUR quest? What have you been
thinking about doing that you need to stop thinking about and start DOING? If you have been
depressed or frustrated or feeling held back lately, choose today to recall what mission had you fired
up and take some action to get back on track.
C'mon, I know you have it in you! I believe your actions could be especially effective this week! GO!
Peace,
Paul

The happiness of life is made up of little things -
a smile, a hug, a moment of shared laughter.
-source unknown, submitted by Vickie B., Indianapolis, IN
=o=o=o=o=o=o=o= BOULDER =o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Waking up this morning, I smile.
Twenty four brand new hours are before me.
I vow to live fully in each moment and
to look at all beings with eyes of compassion.

Stop right this instant, and take one moment to think of some small
gift you received yesterday (a smile, a phone call, a hug, etc.) and
then choose someone who today will receive a small gift from you.
Now, GO!
Peace,
Paul
P.S. Thanks for the hundreds of sympathy emails and cards last week!
