A wise stone causes ripples, but the powerful waves wipe them out. Quite often power overrides wisdom. That’s the reality.
But I believe the wise stone will find another spot to create ripples again. Hopefully perseverance will make the changes.
Power bleeds quickly
Ripples provoke, makes one think
Hidden tsunamis

Hello Windy,
Yes, one cannot eradicate ripples easily. Like a looping piece of music, it haunts.
Peace,
Eric
Wonderful image of “peace fluttering”. Reminds me of Emily Dickenson’s “hope is the things with feathers”
To soar unfettered
Hope is the things with feathers
Beware the raptors

Hello Ina,
That Emily Dickenson quote prompted my haiku. Hope you like it 🙂
Peace,
Eric
Give me a wise stone any day even if it trips me and causes ripples! My hope that I might pick up some wisdom in the process.
Lesson prompts abound
Wisdom, humility’s child
Most stuck with square wheels

Hello Jane,
My sentiments exactly, I don’t like knocks – who does – but would have made the most of them, if I emerged on the other side, having learnt valuable lessons.
Hope the week is turning out well,
Eric
And an unwise stone also has an extended influence. I like your version better. 🙂
All stones wield influence
Knock down, trip the unwary
Hills to dust, they teach

You’re right, Ian,
And all good wishes,
Eric
