I pulled this photo, taken sometime around February/ March 2003, out of the Empress Archives. It was taken by a very dear friend of mine, Drew Kidd, at my home, in Cincinnati, OH.
I am posting this because when I came across it, it reminded me of how blessed and fortunate I've been. It's a testament to all the favors that have been bestowed upon me.

I had a conversation with a friend who had recounted growing up in  Israel where he'd skip rocks at the river Jordan. He remembered the day  where it dawned on him that every time he threw a rock into the river, it caused a  ripple.  I'm paraphrasing of course, but he wondered what effect that ripple had on the balance of the river and life in the river.
