The Ripples Are Ongoing Acts

By Adam Wolfond

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.
