Dreams………..
He reaches the knotty stick deep into the pond, giving pressure with the curled fingers of his right hand. The ripples go out in neat concentric circles, becoming larger as they grow and flow in the still water. Each ripple has a direct effect on the life that comes within its path. He sees the pond come alive with reaction to the water’s disturbance. Creatures dart here and there, their day clearly affected. Their paths altered.
Huge reactions and changes of life’s course occur when humans plunge that stick into the pond of existence. One action, one decision made can have a ripple effect on the lives of those around us. I am witness to one of these decisions. It was made by someone very close to me and it changed my life forever. In fact, it changed the lives of several people whose original path twisted into something new and different and unexpected- an unusual situation artificially inserted into the sands of time. Interesting that in looking backwards we each have our own versions of what went down. Somehow that makes me sad.
