meaning
There's a fountain I visit in another state, and I stand and watch the bubbly water globules falling like little worlds back into the water below. I think you can see this at nearly any fountain, but these liquid blobs are ponderous, the size of your two fists together. Anyway, for me it is a metaphor for meaning in life.

ReplyDeleteThat's how life's intricacies result from a blob to benefit the individual when dispersed. Nice write Bruce!
