I saw this, and I thought of the leaf that had fallen and lay briefly in the wet cement, but left a permanent mark.
There are people that to this in our lives, both in good ways and bad ways.
There are people who live their lives for a period, but shape the future for many.
I guess it is worth remembering that what may be a small incidental action for us, may leave a permanant impact on others.

PS I tried to find an appropriate quote but all I could see was this rather negative one 'People will notice the change in your attitude towards them but not notice their behaviour that made you change' However, I think it is quite a sweet and positive notion, but maybe that's a reflection of the people who have left an impact in my life.
a great picture and a subtle quote

ReplyDeleteLovely photo and the thoughts it engendered, Lydia. In terms of small action having great effects, Here's what the author of "The Butterfly Effect" has to say: “You have been created in order that you might make a difference. You have within you the power to change the world.” ― Andy Andrews
