Ripples. They bring any body of water to life. It's like the water is dancing to its own beat. Without ripples a pond is just still water. When you toss a rock into the water it's no longer still. It's full of life and exciting. Life is like a pond. Still and lifeless if you don't add anything to it. When Barney entered my life it was like throwing a rock into a pond, and the most magical ripples formed.
