Connections between
are invisible, always,
but always present.
We can toss a pebble into a pond of still water and watch as the ripples spread outward. These spreading ripples are like the actions we take in life – each little thing we do affects not only us, but sometimes those we don’t even know.
Sometimes we like to think we are like an island, isolated and solitary, and that we can go about our business without effecting other people. We don’t always realize the good, and the bad, we can do without our knowledge. We can’t always see that the waves from that distant shore will still reach our island, eventually.
In some ways we have more power than we may realize – the power to invoke love, the power to return that love, and the power to hurt.
People, remember to use your powers wisely.
Missed Connections are filled with good, bad, and rippling-waters-haiku. Did you write one? Did you find one? Before you toss any more pebbles, email the link to Lovelorn Poets! We’ll preserve those secretly-powerful-syllables for all eternity.
