Kim Gaskill reflects on spring blooms, birds, and trees to explore how individual actions ripple outward. Everything works together, she suggests, and what we do influences others in ways we might not see.
It's a new day. I'm Kim Gaskill and this is the Daily Spark. I'm on my way to the gym this morning and it is beautiful outside. I noticed something that with the trees blooming out, it's causing many other things to take place that you might not notice. It all plays together. It's been raining the past few days, and because of all of that rain, everything is blooming. It is spring. You start to see these blooms of life, these sparks of life come out in the flowers and the trees and the grass. Everything's starting to wake up. And it's beautiful. These once barren, craggly old tree barks starting to have color on them, starting to bloom out with flowers and leaves. I love this time of year, and it's quite active. I'm standing outside of the gym, and inside the gym there's activity and there's noise with the music, but outside I'm standing here And even though I feel that it's quiet, it's not. There's activity everywhere because the trees are blooming. Birds are more active and they're singing louder. There's bird songs everywhere. So it made me think that how everything plays on each other, everything is in sequence. One thing happens and then it causes something else to happen, and then it causes something else to happen. So what is it today that you are going to do? You, you're gonna do that's gonna play a piece, play a role in the next person, what they do today. What is your activity going to influence someone else to do? Think about that. If the rain causes things to bloom which causes birds to sing and spread the seeds and aerate the ground, getting worms. All of those things play together to make things happen. What are you gonna do today to play together with the universe to make things happen? Let me know and join me again tomorrow for another Daily Spark.
