Drop a pebble in the water: just a splash, and it is gone;
But there’s half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on,
Spreading, spreading from the center, flowing on out to the sea.
And there is no way of telling where the end is going to be.

Drop a pebble in the water: in a minute you forget,
But there’s little waves a-flowing, and there’s ripples circling yet,
And those little waves a-flowing to a great big wave have grown;
You’ve disturbed a mighty river just by dropping in a stone.

Drop an unkind word, or careless: in a minute it is gone;
But there’s half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on.
They keep spreading, spreading, spreading from the center as they go,
And there is no way to stop them, once you’ve started them to flow.

Drop an unkind word, or careless: in a minute you forget;
But there’s little waves a-flowing, and there’s ripples circling yet,
And perhaps in some sad heart a mighty wave of tears you’ve stirred,
And disturbed a life was happy ere you dropped that unkind word.

Drop a word of cheer and kindness: just a flash and it is gone;
But there’s half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on,
Bearing hope and joy and comfort on each splashing, dashing wave
Till you wouldn’t believe the volume of the one kind word you gave.

Drop a word of cheer and kindness: in a minute you forget;
But there’s gladness still a-swelling, and there’s joy circling yet,
And you’ve rolled a wave of comfort whose sweet music can be heard
Over miles and miles of water just by dropping one kind word.

Below is a video forwarded to us on exactly what it requires for humankind to really walk on water!

Liquid Mountaineering takes place when an individual attempts to achieve what man has tried to do for centuries: walk on water. Or to be more precise: running on water. The below video shows a group who claims to have gone farther than any anyone else. Watch the video and then read what the critics have to say below.

The peeps on snopes have their doubts on the validity of this sport. Concerning the video here is their take: “You can see how shallow the water is in a few shots. There’s even a bush growing out of it. (Another one on the other side, as well as the tree you can see in the initial still.) Clearly the lake is just a bit fuller than usual and they can run to the point where the edge would usually be, when it suddenly drops away, at the point where they all fall over.”

Hoax or not, at least it is less painful when you fall than other sports.
