Becoming ONE again … ( 12 / 22 / 2012 )
We all came from the water . It runs through our ancient days ; through each and every 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 one 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 and the blazing heat might vaporize it into steam , and yet the gentle warmth of spring or the violent release of the thunderhead 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 single-minded quest to see its Great Brother once more .
And on its way there , it is that single , mere drop of water that becomes a ripple … and then a river … and then a rising torrent . It I time becomes a force unstoppable , which inevitably breaks down and flows over all resistance in its path – allowing it to flow free once again , back on its way to Oneness .
And so it is with each of us and our LOVE … So it is with every drop of sweat that falls while serving our communities … So it is with every drop of Kindness that graces the heart of a stranger … So it is with every 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 , my Friends … These are the drops that will trickle -- and then ripple -- and then flow -- and then rush onward to rejoin us with our own ocean ; the Ocean of Humanity .
These are the drops that will bring us back to our brothers & sisters … These are the drops that will once again bring us Home .
