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.

To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth. He forgives whom He pleases and punishes whom He pleases, but He is forgiving and merciful. [Qur'an 3:129]
----
We love people and things as if they are ours to love forever. We assume haque, or right, over them, and protest belligerently or mournfully if they are taken away. How silly of us; everything we own is from Allah (swt) and everyone belongs to Him. Inalilahe wa ina'ilahe rajeyun... (to Him we belong, and to Him we will return)
