It was Gibran who said, In only one drop of water are found all the secrets of the ocean.  What a privilege it is for the drop deemed worthy of such an honor. How proud it must feel to be entrusted with such glorious distinction..
But it must also be exhausting for a single drop to harbor confidences of such vast proportion. 
Does it yearn to relinquish its burden and flow freely amongst it's kind unencumbered? I wonder... Or perhaps the noble task of safeguarding the ocean's treasures has become a vital part of it's very existence...

I don't know, but I find myself fascinated.

Ramadan 1430: Day 9 (Aug 30th)
I've never understood why when someone cries, people console them by telling them to not cry; Tears are cathartic. Offer solace but don't advise against weeping. 

There is sacredness in tears; they are not the mark of weakness, but of strength. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues - they are messengers of overwhelming grief and unspeakable love. (W. Irvin)
