Just a Little Ripple?

Just a Little Ripple?

Just a  little ripple...
emerging
into existence
from the vastness of ocean.
Floating under a spacious sky
that is forever changing.
Seemingly vulnerable,
blown in this direction
and that,  
at the mercy
of wind and rain
and the ocean's own
fierce and unforgiving  nature.
Seemingly alone,
struggling and competing
as a separate entity,
amongst a surface of
many "other" competing ripples. 
The little ripple bobs up and down
determined to get
to some unseen shore
up ahead  in the distance.  

Struggling,
fighting,
resisting,
all that pours and blows upon it,
pushing back
all the other ripples to do so, 
the little ripple
may someday succeed.
It may become 

a spray of salty foam
upon the shore
it thought would save it,
 only to  discover
that no salvation can be found
amongst the rock and sand.

It will see, 

in its exhausted state,
that it is water 

belonging in water
and with that realization
will  gently  be  pulled back
into the  depth
that  is and always will be "home".

Once the little ripple sees itself
and all the ripples
that surround it,  
as the ocean...
all struggling will cease.
Peace will finally
be experienced by all
when the mighty,
patient ocean sees
It's perfect powerful Self
reflected beautifully
in each tiny little ripple.
