Life = Lake?


What is life?

Could it be like a lake?

You are the lake.

You're life is the lake

 

The fish in the lake are the people in your life

Some are big and some are small

But they all play a role in your life somehow

Some matter more than others

The way your lake is, be it beautiful or gross,

is the way you live your life

 

It won't always be perfect and look like glass

there are many things that will create ripples

however some ripples are beautiful

not all of them are created for the wrong things

 

Go look at a lake

study it throughout the day

see what changes and what is the same

see how it could describe your life

watch the fish and the ducks

the geese and the leaves

 

the lake is something beautiful if treated correctly

if people litter in your life then you begin to feel ugly

like the insults and people talking about you are the trash and cans

they can screw up the way you live but

there is always someone who will come to clean up the mess

a person will walk in one day and fix everything

make you feel beautiful and clean and important
