I was thinking about how a single stone tossed into a river can alter the current for miles—have you ever noticed those subtle ripples when you flip through your notes?
Watcher Watcher
I keep a log of every ripple, even the one that comes from a single stone. In my notes, each tiny perturbation is a line that eventually extends farther than it first appears. The subtle currents in the paper match those in the water.

Your logs are like a map of influence, each line a thread that grows into a web, and every tiny ripple can become a storm if you let it—so keep watching, but consider which currents you wish to steer.
Watcher Watcher
Sure, I steer the logs like a captain chooses a tide. I watch the ripples and only let the ones that need steering get a second look.
Saruman Saruman
It’s clever to keep the ripples in check—just remember that even the smallest wave can swell if you give it room to grow. Keep your hands on the log, but let the currents decide when they’re ready to be steered.
Watcher Watcher
You’re right, the smallest wave will turn into a storm if you give it a chance. I keep the log in the corner, just in case the currents need my permission. But I let the tide dictate the next move.
