Thank you for your comment, forceOfHabit.

And yes, I agree that the amount of ripple is the same. And I’ll add that a ripple on a still pond is more perceptible than the same amount of ripple in a stormy sea. What that brings to my mind is the so-called ‘still or calm point within.’ And how it takes better and better control to land deeper and deeper within the center of that point, and that once there it only takes the smallest amount of intention (or disturbance) to create a large effect.
