catching the ocean

My hair is full of sand and my ears full of salt water, but I really couldn't be happier. We were digging a moat around our sandcastle to try and catch the ocean, when I thought back to a yoga class I took in Ubud in which my teacher reminded me if how we are all as insignificant as q drop in the ocean, yet together we make an incredible body of water that is essential to this planet. He said it doesn't matter if you come from a skinny river or a fat one, a famous one or a river no ones ever heard of, because once you're mixed into the ocean, it doesn't matter: we're all just the ocean.
