Fudge ripples
I’m a big fan of the butterfly effect in chaos theory. The micro-breeze created by a butterfly’s wings in China creates the hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean. My trip to Europe with my Grandma motivated me to experience England, which prompted my emigration to my sister’s England, introduced me to crazy Irish Peter. Letters from my Irish friend Peter during his stay in Russia influenced me to take Russian as my language at university. That created my love of the Russian culture and language, which prompted the trip to Russia, which allowed for the volunteering for Peace Corps in Uzbekistan (also inspired by one biography of Kennedy that I read when I was twelve), which necessitated my medical evacuation to DC, which introduced me to Daniel and NYC, which led me to the Teaching Fellows, which introduced me to Sparky Dan, which inspired this blog.
I have never made big choices. All the rivulets and creeks and streams create a torrent. I’m merely enjoying the ride.
