Ripples
Sea formed me – I splashed – And became the sea
Humankind struggles with self-absorption. We want to live forever. Then we want life after death. But no matter what awaits in the afterlife, we live on.
After all, matter and energy cannot be destroyed or created, and there is no end or beginning to time and space. We are eternal.
The universe is in perfect harmony. Good cannot exist without evil. Everything connects. That is our destiny. A drop in a pool of water sends ripples to its furthest shore despite the obstacles.
We may just be drops in a sea but without drops, a sea does not exist. Subtle splashes ripple forever in calm waters. Thunderous splashes may go unnoticed in stormy waters.
We are mostly water; without it, we die. After we splash, what is the ripple effect?
