Me: You see the surface of the lake over there?
That was me once...
Tranquil. Still.
Then this happened.
(throws a heavy stone which dives into the lake)
The water churns and ripples.
What happened to the water, that's what I became.
(?): However if you stay long enough,
you can watch it go back to being still again;
back to being tranquil.
Me: Yet the stone is under there.
It's now become part of the lake.
It might look the same as it did before
but forever it's changed.
I know what you speak of... - Kevin
