The pulse of fruition


What if, like the bees, the work we do — 
Whatever it may be 
 That was given us to accomplish —
 Is part of some larger pulse of fruition 
That we, here, are too small to understand; 
What if, like the butterfly, 
The flap of whose wings 
 Spins a tornado into motion 
On the other side of the world, 
The choices we make, to do or not do, 
Have repercussions we could never begin 
To comprehend in the larger course of history?
