The Ripples Are Ongoing Acts

                            The moon
 of the lake
 is accurate.
 Am I big
 enough for
 the pull?
 Yes let’s
 write about
 the pullings
 of waters.
 How small we
 are to the water
 would trigger
 the ways.
 Inviting the ways
 of compassion
 to each: offerings.
 The ripples greatly
 sew the stitches
 of beings. Are we
 good? Can we
 be good?
 How much water
 does it take to
 drown us, pull us
 into awakenings?
 I want us to pull
 and pull into each
 other’s ripples and
 pull out the smallness
 of the human in us.
