    An excellent haiku!!!

    although the haiku (quite correctly for a haiku) implies what isn't "true" you explanation is perfect.

    All the best

      U R funny!

      I'm not sure [ruff day] that I totally understand your compliment. Thanks. I love Haiku/Senryu as I find them a 'mind message' & puzzle to solve!

      Thanks!

      Wow! What's the likelihood that a Physicist would be the 2nd. read on this Haiku? Haiku is a Japanese poetry form that consists of only 3 lines with a syllable count of 5/7/5. That's the 'basic' short explanation. The 3rd line is supposed to be an 'aha' moment. I don't know how many people would understand this Ku. I heard an excellent Sermon where the Pastor spoke on this in relationship to the spiritual walk & our affect on others. That's what prompted this write! So glad you found your way here. I guess the title caught your eye eh? Thanks for reading & your kind comment!

    Butterfly Effect is an interesting concept. Awesome job with this, Kathie and the background is terribly appropriate. Thanks for sharing.

      Forgot

      where I first heard of this...oh, right, think it was in a Sermon, how a slight disturbance 'in the air' can cause massive damage. You can imagine the spiritual consequences here can you not?
