Ripples on a Pond

Thoughts are like ripples on a pond:

they are subject to the winds

of desire, preference

and expectation.

However, no one can explain

when or why or how

thoughts will arise

or subside.

All we know

is that thoughts are

of the same substance

as the pond itself ~

both in their

spontaneous origination

and in their inevitable

subsidence.

~ Metta Zetty
