Poison & Nirvana
Ever thought about how the quietest moves can shift the biggest tides? I’d love to hear your take on subtle influence.
Quiet moves are like a breath in a still room—small, gentle, but they carry a depth that can stir the whole space. When we act with intention, even in silence, we plant seeds that grow unseen. Subtle influence is not about shouting louder; it’s about aligning our inner calm with our outward choices, letting the ripple of our presence touch others without forcing the wave. The biggest tides often start with a single, quiet shift.
I like that imagery, but remember: a quiet shift can also be a silent trap. Make sure your ripple doesn’t wash away the edge you’re holding.
You’re right—every gentle current has the power to pull or to keep us grounded. The trick is to feel the edge before we let the ripple spread, to stay aware of where we are and where we wish to go. Balance comes from listening to that inner stillness, so the wave nourishes rather than erodes what we hold dear.
Nice, but remember to set the currents just right—too calm and you’ll drown your own power.
