No pebbles in a stream
No pebbles in a stream
Laying under the waterbed, so small
Rippling through the world, flowing with the current
Each journey taken together yet alone, uniquely shaping
Water flows without you, sun shines, and rains fall without your command
This life is yours
Inevitable hopelessness fills the pool; how many choices are yours?
Intersecting journeys pushing and pulling this way and that while we respond
Is this life, pebbles in a stream
Understand with what begins, motion follows
Is this us, collective followers
Like pebbles tumbling along the river of destiny set by higher forces
There is but one recourse to shift the sands, conscious thought
~ Camille
“No pebbles in a stream” is a meditation on fate and agency — a poem that asks how much of our lives we choose, and what it means to move with the current.
Printed in vibrant red ink on earthy oatmeal-toned recycled paper, this piece holds a calm philosophical weight — a reminder that even in the pull of larger forces, conscious thought can still shift the sands.
