Peripheral Vision--In what ways do you think your peripheral vision is important? Has what you’ve seen through your peripheral vision ever helped you? Have you ever used your peripheral vision for poem or story writing ideas?

It's possible I have written a poem about peripheral vision. I haven't used it in short stories or novels. The only time I consider my own peripheral vision is when I go for a eye exam or when I catch a shadow out of the corner of my eye and look in that direction.

Out of the corner of my eye,
I see a shadow flit,
but when I turn to stare
I see nothing there.

When you drop any new idea in the pond of the world, you get a ripple effect. You have to be aware that you will be creating a cascade of change. Joel A. Barker ~ Write about the ripple effect in relation to any subject you like.

Ripples

Every day
ripples flow
outward from the Word of God
that was dropped into the sea of humanity
by Blessed Beauty, the Glory of God, Baha'u'llah.

Ripples flow
and across Earth,
and nine-sided temples are built,
“dawning-places of the praise of God”1,
that welcome all humanity, all religions.
