Ripples reveal
Ripples lay bare
Ripples expose
Both here and there

It is this way for now, keep your feet dry. Patrick

This poem is so relaxing Karen revealing God's frozen wondrous creation, His beauty in all the season's. The frozen is special because there are fewer people about and this heightens personal appreciation. Thanks for this beautiful peace of poetry. Peace!!!

the ripples of the progressives are many and devious -- liberty,democracy and freedom hang in the balance of, "a ripple here, a ripple there", Karen -- passion for your nation, concern for the future of our great land weigh emotionally on you in your poem --those of us who treasure liberty,will always be challenged by those who seek to rule without democracy and personal liberties -- may peace and love be with you and our nation always my dear friend -- Jon Michael

The promised land neith your feet hasn't changed, the attitude to it and God though has, and all that you mention, (freedoom) included, you cannot be free and safe at the same time. The country is in a lockdowm, and the jailers are fear and the peddlars thereof, fear of forces external, instead the beast within. You do great pennance and reflection with you pen dear Karen,Hugs!

Soul-searching, and contemplating, and being alone with God in His creation - these things I am doing more and more of as time passes.
You express the experience well dear Karen ... enjoyed this!

Karen,
Good to see you back. We all get a ripple here and a ripple there, it's in how we handle those ripples that make us who we are. You are a very strong and courageous woman.
May your ripples send healing waves back to you all the time.
Much peace, love, and light,

This outstanding writing has political implications, but I do not want to get into that since I am not a republican, or Democrat. However the message it sends is important. Excellent writing, Karen.

GOD BLESS

Great poem, Karen, very much so because you just spoke some truth and did NOT lay blame anywhere. It is the American people who are at fault for this turn of events. We have become used to government managing our lives. Hands outstretched for more. Politicians promise more hand outs to get elected, it is a never-ending revolving door. Blame us, not so much the shallow politicians. I hope we have learned our lessons, the country has rebounded with unheard of strength, Tea Parties, etc., it is past time to wake up.

Sadly is to say that America has entered Moses forty years of desert wandering in search of the promised land.
Maybe we should ask Bush, Cheney, the Republicans & Democrats to where they have relegated it.

Embracing solitude and all of creation in meditation's silence. It all comes into clearer view when we clear our minds in a nice long walk. Gives us a chance to reflect on where we've been and where we're going, Karen...inspirational and thought-provoking title, A ripple here, a ripple there...be well you and Robert...his eye through the viewfinder is as sharp as your eye through the quill...a partnership Creator is proud of...Blessed Be.
