The Spark ("You are not a drop in the ocean")
quote
“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop.”
Rumi
These words speak to the limitless source of potential within each of us.
We are not insignificant beings lost in the vastness of the world; we carry within us the forces and lessons of the entire universe. It's a reminder that our actions, thoughts, and dreams have the power to shape not just our lives but also the world around us.
This profound insight should inspire us to embrace our individuality and to recognize the oceans of potentiality that ripple within our very being, to acknowledge that the impact we make, no matter how small it may seem, resonates across the the lives of many. It's a reminder that we each possess the vastness of entire oceans within the confines of our own drop.
Embrace the vastness within

I’m 5ft tall and that’s pretty short. But I often say, I’m only small on the outside. On the inside I have wings that span across the stars and a compassion that wraps around the world. And a potential that knows only human bounds
Thank you for the profound piece!
Beautiful! One of my favorite Spark writings.
