Ripples//To Be Human

by Anita Mac

An ingredient of
turmoil & touching—
and a Whole Greater.

Cause and Carry and Affect.

Maybe my Soul
is just Jottings and Drawings
with unknown potential.

Cause and Carry and Affect.

Life is Cause
and all else, affect.

Cause and Carry and Affect.

Author's Note: It's been a while since I posted a solo piece, I thought it was time. This is so drastically different from the first draft, but I think it's got more to it this way.

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. What we are made of matters less than what we do with what have. Many different ways I take this... makes me think. Great read.

'Affect' being the root of humanity? This draft is, I guess, the effect. Ahh -- contemplation...

I love how the title plays with that second to last stanza. Good write!

There is so much potential in almost everything it makes my mind nearly explode lady, Hope all is well!
