Writing Prompt Tuesday prompt 7


Prompt: a ripple in the water

Sometimes small events can be similar to ripples in the water. One small incident grows into something larger and shapes the fabric of life in a whole new way. In literature, this would be similar to the butterfly effect which takes it's form in many folk and fairy tales. Sometimes the events are ignored, until the wave of events carries you away and you must make a decision to continue the patterns of life. A story can also be a ripple, traveling through as many people as possible and revealing a new way to look at the world. If you believe that big events start larger ones, the ripple isn't a mystery. It usually starts with something different intruding the water and changing its shape. Ideas can be ripples when they are shared with the world in many different ways. Dreams can also cause this event to happen within the archetypal world. Music can ripple thoughts and emotions through the many effects of instruments and lyrics. You can compare many events to ripples in the water. One small thing can cause a larger effect and change your perspective on the philosophy of life.
