“Turn Left here,” she said as she pointed Right. I turned Right. Good job.

Like any good listener, I ignored her words, and did what she Wanted, NOT what she said.

The Universe does the same. The words we utter in asking, begging, inquiring, thanking or cursing all fall on deaf ears.

– NEWS FLASH – The Universe has no ears. Why would it?

IF the Universal Source Energy, (Chi, Prana, Yesod, God – you pick a Label you feel comfortable with) had ears what would it hear?

Would it only hear one language?
Would it listen to the language of the lonely wolf howling, or only the words of the whale trying to find a mate across miles of ocean?
Would it only hear the words of the most Holy Person, or the most Needy, or the most Grateful?
Would it have to hear ALL sounds vocalized by everything?

Do you think the Universal Energy responds only to what we call, and what we create, as Sound waves? Or do you think the Universe responds to a different frequency?

Is the silent prayer powerless against a spoken one?

The empty repetition of Affirmations, the emotionless reciting of Prayers, or the shallow verbal expression of Words – they are all for Ears only. It is the Emotion behind those prayers, affirmations and thoughts that have transmitted value.

Just like the part of Energy that resides in us. We may hear a wolf or a whale’s sound, but who does not FEEL something in it? As Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., a renowned cell biologist, says, “Energy is more effective at controlling Biology than molecules.”

The sound wave is nothing but molecules vibrating, but the power is in the energy, the emotion, that created the sound.

Be aware of ALL your communications. Be aware of ALL communications coming to you as well. They aren’t in spoken words either!

Feel for what you’re seeking. Be receptive and feel for what is constantly being offered back to you in return.

I was here.

The ancient Inuit people built a pile of rocks in the loose shape of a person and called it an Inukshuk. The Scots piled rocks, sometimes just a few, and called it a Cairn. Sometimes the marking is on public property and we call it Graffiti. Some have wanted a Headstone. A metaphysical person might call it a Ripple. Some of us use a Blog or Facebook or Tweet or a Book. Some folks use ALL of these and more.

People have always wanted to be acknowledged.We want to leave our mark that shows “We Were Here.” We may think that we are just a pebble dropped in a pool of water- but we want to see we’ve made a wave. We want to see our ripples counted for something. That someone noticed OUR very existence.

Whether those ripples were cast in stones or electrons, you want to leave your mark showing that you were here. YOU matter!

When we celebrate your birthday, that’s what we celebrate! It’s not about a year of age, it’s about the countless ways YOU’VE touched the world!

Too often, people forget, that EVERYDAY you are creating these ripples! You create waves endlessly, and most of them only go un-noticed by YOU.

Did you know-

Your Family, your Friends, your Job- all feel daily ripples that you create.
A person you smiled at today that was having a rough day – your smile gave them a needed positive lift that pushed their confidence to a better place!
That person who you let cut in front of you in traffic, (who was focused on a personal crisis in their own life) appreciated your kindness. They thank you.
That extra little Tip you left for your food server, was the last little amount they needed to buy a gift for someone they love.
The cashier who made a mistake, and you recognized it as just that- a simple mistake. She appreciates you for your understanding.
A couple people saw a message or photo on one of your social medias today, and it cheered them up, made them laugh, and remember good times. And even though they didn’t take the time to “Like or Favorite it”, you still touched their day. Thanks!
The stranger that saw you do something well, was inspired to try again.
Your laughter lifted me, it warmed me, and reminded me “Life IS Good.” Thanks!

There are endless ripples YOU create every day, but just don’t see or hear about!

Ever ring a bell? Where does that sound wave go? The frequency wave might hit your ears, or others, but then keeps travelling. Just because your ears can’t hear it anymore doesn’t mean the sound ripple stopped. It didn’t. Energy ripples endlessly. YOU are that energy that keeps on rippling through time and space.

There’s an old Scottish Gaelic blessing that goes: “I’ll put a stone on your cairn.” Today, whether its an Electronic “Like” or “Favorite”, a Physical smile or a nod, or just a Positive Vibe like a thought – ADD to someone else’s cairn.

Recognize someone else’s ripples. Let them know they were heard. Let them know they matter.

You do.

(dedicated to YOU, out there with a birthday- Like Jacque, Maddy & Mary Anne)
