Leaving Nothing But Our Smile

Cheshire Cat: Lose something?
Alice: [turns around to find just the Cat's smile talking to her -  From Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

What if we left nothing but our smile as the effect of our interacting with other people?  In grade school I played the part in the school play of the Cheshire Cat.  It was always magical to me how the cat's body could disappear, leaving just his smile.  Someone once said to me that my daughter was a person, who -- after she had left, the other people would realize they felt better for her having been there.  Wouldn't it be nice if everyone left such an essence?  We do have an impact on others, we do know that, don't we?  Then, the fun part is:  we get to choose what effect we are going to have.  Positive or negative.  It is our choice.
