Ripples of life

As I watched the ripples in the water of the swimming pool created by my last lap, a thought process formed - like ripples whatever we do in our lives, good or bad, will affect somebody, they will expand, bump into and sweep through others life ripples, they will touch something either adding or subtracting from it , before they slowly vanish...

Sometimes the ripples which somebody has created in our life continue on, long after the person has gone, not bounded by anything, but cherished, kept safe, hidden in the heart...

Sometimes the poison of someone else’s life ripple can hit us with such a big wave that we in turn push a similar wave back at someone else and the effects we will never know.

Just ripples....
