Christopher Brainerd blogs about his journey into Buddhism

This is a collection of Christopher Brainerd's ramblings written as a novice student of Buddhism.
My primary practice is Jodo Shinshu, yet I ramble on many spiritual topics.
Some of what follows is original, some are quotes or summations for which I provide the source.
Gassho!

Ripples

In this vast, infinite universe,
   I am but an insignificant speck.
But like a small stone
   dropped into water,
A single act of kindness
   can ripple out,
To touch an infinite number
   of people.
Yet; it is not a cause
   of my insignificant self;
But due to the nature of water
   to ripple.
