As your journey draws on, you become aware that the banks that held you in are no longer apparent. You have become part of the great sea. Your individuality means nothing here. You and the other drops of water are all one. Sometimes a drop appears to be a drop, but soon its true nature is revealed as it resumes its flow, as it again finds its place in the cycle.
Nothing is lost when the drop becomes a river or when the river becomes the sea.
Everything is gained as the great water wheel turns. The sea gives birth to wind and wind gives birth to rain. Rain gives life to land and land carries the river back to the sea. As we live our human lives, let us be like the water. Let us be conscious of the flow.
