Tributaries

We are all tributaries…part of something that flows into something else which flows into something else, to make up a whole something!

Maybe we could rename ourselves contributaries… we are all contributing to something. We are all contributing to life, our own, our family’s our neighbor’s, community, state, nation…the list goes on, and it all begins with you and I.

What am I sending down my tributary to contribute to the next stream, river or pond/lake, because what I send out will affect somebody else. So I, we, have to be conscious that what is fed into other’s waterways could cause them to grow and be encouraged and strengthened, or it might be a pollutant of sorts, causing stagnation (stop moving), indifference (the blahs), or even poison (kill ideas and stifle growth).

Why should we allow ourselves to retard someone else’s growth because we don’t keep our tributary clean and pure – sending something harmful down their way?

We see the importance of keeping real waterways clean, free of chemical pollutants, debris, plastic bottles etc. for the sake of fish and other mammals, what about the importance of protecting the mammal called humanity (us!) free from the internal contaminants which work from the inside out?

Every chance we get, let’s work to send good down our ‘waterway’ to better the whole of us. We are in charge of looking out for each other…as well as ourselves.

Do I need to clean out, maybe even dredge out my tributary so it flows clear again?

You are worth it! Others are worth your contribution!
