choosing a small part . of the much larger picture . removes all context
only afterward . can damages be assessed . and repairs begun
someone dropped a jar . of olives, leaving behind . a strange metaphor
their petals open . with each sunrise, expecting . a beautiful day
when the horizon . darkens while the sun still shines . that is a warning
one drop of water . is the beginning, impact . is the end result
something discarded . can often be positioned . to seem comforting
visibility . when you’re in a thunderstorm . is greatly reduced
a river’s surface . does not reveal the story . of its true power
the water lily . briefly attracts attention . to the algae’s work
