THE BUTTERFLY RIPPLE EFFECT
It takes one man or woman In the right place at the right time To be a catalyst for a movement It might be a movement of hate That triggers others deep seated rage Or their sense of inferiority and powerlessness Or it might be a movement of love That triggers others deep seated desire To live a kind and compassionate life You ask me what is important about you And your devotion to awakened living You say you are small and of no importance To this I say Even if you are not that one man or woman You may be one who knows someone who knows someone Who touches someone in the right way At the right moment And that may be the way A movement of love takes root and spreads Friend, most of life happens In the invisible realm Under the surface That is where the roots are Don’t be so obsessed with the surface flowers They are simply the expression Of all that has been happening deep down.
