The Ocean in a Drop

At some point today, between meetings and bustle in downtown Toronto, I will sit down on  a bench in Queen's Park and simply absorb the world around me.

It's good to remember, sometimes, that though the waves on the surface are rocky and we may feel battered against the rocks of adversity, beneath, the water is still.  That's where it all began, that's where it all comes back to.

There's no us vs them, except as we try to define ourselves as better than.  There is existence, and we are part of it.

When you submit to this humbling knowledge, you don't need to fear your dwindling time pushing against the currents of history.  You become part of the movement.

We are great.
