Thank you, Sarah. I feel like I'm in this ripple with you and Nye and Stafford. I also use his Writing the Australian Crawl in my poetry classes, too. I also like the reference to habits especially, and I relate ripple to the Buddhist concept of interbeing, the influences and inheritances we all gain or participate in.
Thank you so much for this Sarah.
Lovely

Here's my resulting poem. It's not great, and doesn't adequately capture my pleasure in that moment. But....
Jazz to the north,
Venders' tents to the south,
but in between I walk alone past graying buildings
in the crisp, still air.
A dry leaf skittering along the curb startles me.
I own this moment.
