We all came from the water.  It runs through our ancient days; through each and every long year; all the way to this very moment. It courses through our lives like the bloodline of kings – and it runs through our days like the simple joys of every pauper.

It is a smooth yet powerfully flowing stream of memory that binds us to our heritage …
… and that ultimately manifests our fate.

It is important to remember that every small drop of water never ceases its trek to the sea. The bitter cold might freeze its flow, or the blazing heat might vaporize it into steam, and yet the warmth of spring and the release of the rain cloud both ensure that every small drop will one day continue onward again.

Yes, though it starts as only one miniscule droplet, water refuses to be swayed in its task. It continues on and on and on in its quest for re-union with its brothers.

And it always finds them.  It is that single, mere drop of water that becomes a ripple … and then a river … and then a rising torrent. It becomes a force unstoppable, which, in time, breaks down and flows over all resistance in its path – to flow free once again on its way to Oneness.

And so it is with each of us and our LOVE …

… with every single drop of sweat that falls while serving our community,

… with every single drop of Kindness that graces the heart of a stranger,

… with every single drop of blood we sacrifice to bring an enemy the very Peace for which we ourselves yearn.

These are the drops of our deepest Self.

These are the drops that will trickle, and then ripple, and then flow, and then rush to renew our Ocean of Humanity.

These are the drops that will once again bring us Home.
