The sun has turned some of the sea water on its surface into steam and then pulls and flies it to the heights. Under certain conditions, the vapor will fuse and will fall as drops of the rain. One certainty, all the water will return to the sea. That is its destiny.
On the way to the heights, the wind directs it to various directions, then from a certain height we can choose to fall somewhere, at the top of the mountain to become snow or springs, in lakes, in gardens, in rivers, in muddy trenches, in waste disposal, in a bucket, in a town, in a village, on the beach or even in the sea itself.
The place of the fall of a drop of water will determine the distance that must be taken and the time it has to get back to the sea. It also determines everything that will be faced on the way back to the sea. Even falling in the same place can give a different experience because there is a part of the river water that will still directly flow into the sea but there are many parts that must or choose to be drink of plants, into groundwater, into drinking water, either for animals and humans, or even just spin in the vortex for a long time, etc. That’s the fate of each.
However, all the water drops will be reunited with the sea and become the whole sea. Can no longer be separated between who was once in a mountain, in a village, in a city, in a chicken or human stomach, in the belly of the rich or poor, in the stomach of black, yellow or white race.
That’s how we humans are in the cycle. If God is the sea, then what are we? If there is much prayer for a death that reads “May he be accepted and placed beside by God.”, Is that a good prayer?

We are all as the clouds, all different and unique on one level, but all the same on another.
Seperti bagaimana kita melihat dan menyadari hal yang sama tentang awan meskipun kita memiliki pemikiran dan pengalaman hidup yang berbeda juga.
Uppzzz… I am in a hurry and have written a reply in my language!!! My apology. I mean is:
Like how we see and realize the same thing about the clouds though we have a different thought and life experience too.
You are fine, I know how to translate. 🙂
Uuuu… Thanks a lot, Carol.
There are different kinds of clouds but they are actually just the same clouds with different “make-ups” or moods…
The perfect expression of wisdom, O man of wisdom…
LOL… it’s obviously some bullsh*t…
but oh well, I’m never stingy in receiving compliments :p
It’s a great paradigm that I have to admire and maybe I’ll learn too.
The wonder of clouds, when they part they reveal a new day, new light, new hope. Plus the rain helps the plants and flowers grow!
They do symbolize many things about life, our lives and the universe, which visible and invisible, that are easy to understand and hard to understand.
It is a wonderful message and pictures Albert!
Thanks a lot, Coach. That’s a tea plantation
I actually got to visit a tea plantation in China a few years ago, very cool the way tea is grown. Lot’s of work, however!
It’s fun to be in a place like this, Coach.
It is, it can be and is something I do miss about not traveling anymore!
and now the power lines remind me of spider webs
There is nothing wrong with that idea.
I suppose not, but first it is space invaders and now giant spiders…
All are your friends, aren’t you?
Space Invaders are my enemy by definition. Giant spiders are probably also my enemy but that could be my Tolkien influenced prejudice…
I can not forbid you to be their enemy.
