A Drop of Water

However deep your
Knowledge of the scriptures,
It is no more than a strand of hair
In the vastness of space;
However important appears
Your worldly experience,
It is but a drop of water in a deep ravine.

I love the quotations you find and publish with your photos; somehow the thought about the drop of water gives me comfort to know that there is something so much greater than me at work in the universe; I am a part of it, so I don't feel insignificant, I feel a part of the flow and ebb.....Jinny
