Update 05/19/2025: Two weeks ago, I was assaulted and illegally evicted by people who I thought were close to me. I took a hiatus during that period to focus on survival, and will resume posting as I am able.

How to patripple.

As with the concept, this is a living document. I am working on it as I go along. You are welcome to come back to check for updates whenever it pleases you.

Have you ever tossed a handful of pebbles into a pond or a creek, and watched the water ripple?

If you have, you have changed the course of history - etched your fingerprint onto the world in a lasting way. How did you do that?

You did that through curiosity, or through resilience, or through intuition. You did that because something within you compelled you to. If you did something like this recently, then probably, you were pondering how imbalanced things are. In a previous decade, maybe you did so because you wanted to see what would happen, or because you realized that you'd never reach Mars, so you invented a clever, impish way to move it a stone's throw and a skip away.

Scientifically speaking, you did that through the long, slow process of erosion.

Those pebbles you tossed - however small - altered the flow of the water and the air around them. They did this in their removal; in their displacement. Consider both the spaces that they left behind, and the spaces we now occupy.

How to throw stones.

Every action we take creates a vibration around us. You know this if you have ever jumped into the air, and listened to the sound that your feet made as they returned to the Earth.

Actions above some threshold of density and impact velocity create sounds. Most know this, in their way. This is nothing new to you.

I recently sat and considered the rippling of my own impact. I saw it in the way that a family of deer ran from me when I coughed in the forest. Do you know who flinches when you sneeze? Your victim.

I do not want fish to fear me. That is not the kind of blessing I want for me.

What do you want for you?

What is the wave.

• Amplifying Nature - Healing old wounds. Let what would otherwise fester breathe instead. I believe that this sort of action - a healing one, done in harmony with what is - always leaves behind a positive ripple.
• Accelerating Empathy - Deep empathy - for each other, of course; also for all living beings, and for the planet on which we all reside - improves outcomes for everyone. The mathematics of this checks out. It will prove itself. Or you can look up mid-term and long-term financial outcomes in societies who historically have prized health and ecological harmony vs those who have prioritized industry.
• Lichenization - No explanation.
