PEBBLE:  
The difficulties of life are intended 
to make us better, not bitter.
-Jim Vaske, submitted by Kathy in Marshfield, WI

BOULDER: 
It may be hard for an egg 
to turn into a bird: 
it would be a jolly sight harder 
for it to learn to fly 
while remaining an egg. 

We are like eggs at present. 
And you cannot go on indefinitely 
being just an ordinary, decent egg. 
We must be hatched or go bad.
-C.S. Lewis, submitted by Lisa in Christmas, FL

PONDER:  
I connected this week with a few of my friends who are each facing
significant challenges in their lives right now.  I want them (and YOU!) to
know that I am pushing out all kinds of positive energy this week with the
hopes that any of my fellow Ripplers who are struggling can hatch themselves
into the next stage of life.  

It may not be time to fly just yet, but I feel certain you can at least
crack the shell.  

Peace,
Paul
P.S.  My sincere gratitude to over 1,000 Ripplers who bipped over to like
my FB page in the past few weeks.  Shut up I love connecting with you there,
too--I'll keep up the extra splashes just for you!
