"To be doing good deeds is man's most glorious task." Sophocles
Small Stones #30
The Good we do flows out and then back to us
Like a river cleansing and healing the banks
wherever it goes
Good deeds Flow...
More Below!
"Thinking good thoughts is not enough, doing good deeds is not enough, seeing others follow your good examples is enough." Douglas Horton
Small Stones #30
Who came up with the idea
Of random acts of kindness?
It is good for the soul...
For each kindness reverberates
like a pebble in a pond
Spreading far beyond its origins
healing other souls
Good deeds flow...
What are small stones?
According to the originators of this wonderful exercise, a small stone is a short piece of writing (prose or poetry) that precisely captures a fully-engaged moment. The process of discovering small stones is as important as the finished product. Searching for small stones will encourage you to keep all your senses; - your eyes,(and ears, nose, mouth, fingers, feelings and mind) open.
Some Food for Thought: Do you find time to show random acts of kindness? Take a moment to contemplate what Good Deeds mean to you? Love and Peace in 2013.
I would love to hear from you: Please leave me a comment. Thank You!

ReplyDeleteSpreading far beyond its origins..."
Thanks for sharing this! :)
Good deeds do flow like your poetry. They go and come back to us.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!

ReplyDeleteI love your words ... they are so smooth and beautiful :-)
ReplyDeleteAby TY! And same here! :-)
ReplyDeleteMeikah TY too! I appreciate the feedback... ;-)
ReplyDeleteMeenakshi you're the best. TY! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnne TY! True and that is why karma is so important for many. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreen Speck... I love your work too and will be round to visit all of you soon. TY! :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with this one. Sometimes, doing good deeds especially to your enemies is very diffucult taask but once you made it, it was really a victory.
ReplyDeletehi there. I just saw a comment you made on createwJoy, I don't even know how to get there except for putting in selfsagacity on google search.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to reply and say thank you for recognizing me. I also noticed your user id here too, and it is familiar, though you have changed your blog somewhat...
I will have to remember to visit you often. I have a meme on thurs and contest every quarter, hope you can join one or both so that we can stay in touch. happy weekend.
Allan, It is difficult to work with the enemy but we can wish them well and move on. TY! :-)
ReplyDeleteSelf Sagacity,
ReplyDeleteI remember you well... Yes we did some blog hops together in the past.. I will check out your Thursday hops in the coming weeks. Love to stay in touch. TY!

Oh,gosh, i was having a particularly bad day, after waking up and vowing that it would be a perfect day, and then i saw your post. Thanks, eliz. your post made me feel a whole lot better!
ReplyDeletecool. you're so great ^_^
ReplyDeleteI am trying to make a change this year.. I hope I succeed
ReplyDeleteTY Marie!!! Glad it helped... Thinking of you and your loved ones and all of you sending healing light. ;-)
ReplyDeleteTY Tet! I love your special writing symbols. :-)
ReplyDeleteSinglemom R TY! Same here on the change factor and I pray we achieve all. :-)
ReplyDeleteGood deeds do find a way of circumventing. A single act of kindness goes a long way and sometimes, it goes right back at us.
ReplyDeleteSo true Aileen I believe it too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteEliz
We encourage acts of kindness routinely in our family. It's always nice to make someone smile.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, I wanted to say how much I loved the picture you posted. I could just get lost in it. Snapping out of my reverie/daydream and reading what you had written, I agree that small things are important- they add up to big things and are not to be underestimated. Nice post.
