Once upon a time, there was a vast, endless ocean. Its waters were deep, mysterious, and full of life. One day, a small droplet of water was separated from the ocean and found itself inside a briny shell.
The droplet, now housed within the briny shell, began to experience life in a new way. It could move around, explore its surroundings, and interact with other droplets in their own briny shells. The droplet marveled at its own existence and the world around it, forgetting for a time that it had once been part of the great ocean.
As time passed, the briny shell began to wear away, slowly dissolving. The droplet knew that its time in the shell was coming to an end, but it wasn’t afraid. It had lived a full life, experienced joy and sorrow, love and loss, and had grown wise in its understanding of the world.
Finally, the moment came when the briny shell could no longer hold the droplet. The walls crumbled, and the droplet flowed freely, merging once again with the vast ocean from which it had come. The droplet’s individual consciousness faded, but its essence remained, forever a part of the great, eternal ocean.
The other droplets in their briny shells witnessed this transformation and knew that they, too, would one day return to the ocean. They understood that their time in the shells was a precious gift, a chance to experience life in a unique way before returning to their source.
And so, the cycle continued, with droplets emerging from the ocean, living their lives in briny shells, and then returning to the ocean once more. Each droplet’s journey was different, but all were part of the same great story, the eternal ebb and flow of life itself.
Be not afraid.
