Ripples

Every thought you think A thousand new ideas Every word you communicate A thousand chances for connection Every choice you make A thousand opportunities created Every action you take A thousand equal and distinct reactions You are a drop of water unto the world Every motion you make Sends out ripples In each and every … Continue reading Ripples →
