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.

Reflections.

To see the world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wildflower
hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and find eternity in an hour. 
(W. Blake)

Abbajan called Mama the most beautiful woman in the world tonight; she smiled and blushed prettily. I have to agree he's right. My parents are adorable people. Sometimes I look at them and think to myself how blessed I am to have them in my life. They remind me that God creates people not perfect, just perfect for each other. This epitomizes the concept of love for me. May they have at least an eternity to spend together in each others' presence. 
Any good that exists in me by God's grace is a reflection of their example.
