a stone's throw into the ocean
have the ripples stopped
or have they merely grown too wide to see
from this tired and grounded perspective?

You DO get me thinking...

I started out thinking, what would it matter either way...

then I started arguing with m'self, thinking about the "butterfly effect" and weather...

then I found this site that disputed that...

and then...

smile...

see? concentric circle thinking.

Another phenominal write from one of the most talented writes on this site. Everything summed up in 4 lines... awesome.

We are all equal but we’re individually different
and able to reach the impossible if we try.

If you climb to the crest of a spiritual mountain, you will be able to see the circles expanding into forever...

ohh..this reminded me of the chaos effect...you know me

but anyways: A butterfly takes flight and flutters its wings. the movement gets bigger and bigger until it turns into a hurricane..or something. But it makes you wonder if something that small can really cause something so big. whatever

See look- you got me going again.

or see look? now I just read ser's reply. Great minds think alike. heh

this is funny because I was thinking this very thing, even wrote about it - while I was skipping stones across a creek . . .
I could see the circles . . .
all I did was watch them expand from the shore . . .

Awesome write Raph

Great write ! I now know what you were telling me.

this kinda goes with what we were talking about, dont write because you want to write write because you need to little things in life are the best material for poetry, but not many people notice them. you do and that is a gift! keep using it

...and if you hang around long enough, they come back....sort-of....

I like this. You always see things in a new light, show them in a new way.

Raph~
The beauty of life is found within the circling~

concentric ... one of my favorite words~
Just so lovely are your thoughts~

Raph, you are one poet whose writing must be read more than once....talk about a "ripple effect"....thoughts grow wider each time a piece of yours is read !!! Awesome. Chris
