Everything depends on sensitivity to initial conditions. <br /> A first principle of Chaos Theory. <br /> <br />Monday morning and <br />the melancholy masses <br />begin their trudge, <br />worming down <br />the highways and train tracks <br />or hitting the tasks <br />immediate to home, <br />family or farm. <br /> <br />Meanwhile, a butterfly <br />moves its wings <br />in Hong Kong <br />and a rainstorm begins <br />in the Amazon. <br /> <br />At the same time, <br />a genuinely glad <br />human being <br />opens a door <br />and out from its <br />opening happiness pours— <br /> <br />Imagine what will happen <br />to the world <br /> <br />from that single <br />catastrophically <br />wonderful <br />event! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />This poem is from The Frequency of Light <br />by Alla Renée Bozarth, copyright 2011. <br />All rights reserved.<br /><br />Alla Renee Bozarth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-human-butterfly-effect/
