Ripples

Are we real? Is this reality?
I look in the mirror and sometimes wonder if this is how it was meant to be.
This house I call home. These people I call family and friends.
What would a slight ripple in this well maintained pool would result in?
Does it affect only me? No. We are all connected.
The moment we enter into each others lives,
the ripple has already begun.
All it takes is nourishment which Time can provide abundantly.
An action we do here in secret, is loud heard in a different form elsewhere
Isn't that magical? How everything we call unique is nothing but a disguise
Can you control the ripple? the illusion of control is fascinating.
It gives you a sense of 'Oh I have it in my palms' until the ripple reaches the center.
Talking about the center, is that even what we thin it is?
If I imagine myself as a circle, as soon as I invite another person, thought, thing, connection into life,
Wouldn't the new circle overlap with ours? Will our center remain static?
Imagine the many number of people in our lives, can you still be confident about your ability to control?
What would I be doing in a parallel universe?
Would I be happy there? Or sadder?
Or may be handsome or powerless?
Everyday is but another illusion. Tomorrow is today in disguise.
If it were so, did we even progress, experience or see anything new?

Or may be there are days that look completely transformed. Milestones in history.

Milestones, larger ripples. Wars, inventions, calamities just ripples in times.
