Ripples
Actions cause ripples
From the people you meet and befriend or not
Choosing this thing or another
The well-worn path, the faint trace
A kind word over harsh
Flashing a smile,
Offering my hand
Actions expand like a stone thrown into a quiet lake
affecting all of space, across time, however imperceptibly
Could I create change that didn’t cause a ripple
would I want to?
Could I live a life of absolute calm
with small ripples
With enough small ripples, big changes can happen
