plip-plop




I’m wet. Sopping wet. I went for a walk in the rain, so it’s hardly surprising. I saw lots of puddles and stepped in a few. My socks are soaked. I stood and watched raindrops as they landed in a pool of water and straight away circles of ripples flowed outwards from them, getting larger and larger and joining with others until they gradually faded away to be replaced by new ones. I had a rare moment of profundity (and long words!)  That’s my life I thought. I thought more than that of course, but I’m sure you get the gist without me going on and on.

Anyway, that’s enough of that. What’s for supper?

  1. You're adorable.

    The part about the ripples makes me think about relationship, the way we encounter people for certain periods of our lives but then they're replaced by other people. I get so bogged down by all the loss that I don't want to brave forward to meet the new.

  7. Just as ripples extending its reach to be exhausted at the peripheries so also relationships by the same token.One needs to be close to good friends or they fizzle off. Nice thoughts Rosey!
