Connected

I am alone. 
I am a drop of water fallen from heaven to the earth.
I lay in the soil lonely and waiting for time to change me
I become a drink for the thirsty tree, deer, butterfly
I become the unrelenting force splitting rock
I become enormous waves crashing upon shores
I fill up the world with all I am
I am the essence of all life
I am one with everything
I am connected
I am you
We will change the world.

    A sense of being at one, with the world.

    A great piece of writing.

    Divine. The lonely raindrop becomes with with everything as it goes along. True of our journey of life too. It's a beautifully poetic piece.
