TRUTH AS A GRAIN OF SAND
I live at The Shore (hotel/guesthouse) right on the shore with the ocean literally the width of the roadway away.
As I write presently, I observe the cool, calm waters of the sea moving gently, fluidly, in ever-changing directional currents and becoming small waves breaking onto the sand and in places granite rock.
The shore is where the ocean meets the land... the point of connection with an overlap of one to the other - the merging if you will.
The sand on the shore, the beach, is an expanse of infinite billions of individual grains of sand, each unique in the expression of their beingness, each whole, complete and perfect in their individual differences and none accountable to another in so being. Together they form the space called the beach.
The granite rock, the foundation underlying it all periodically emerges from beneath expressing its strength and might. It is from this granite each individual grain of sand became through the constant ebb and flow of the oceans of time .
The essence of the beach, comprises the smoothness of all these infinite grains and is pleasurable to journey upon. Yet it is the individual grains of sand in their uniqueness which make up the constant changing format of the beach. And the beach is fully present within each grain of sand
The gentle waves continue to break in the ebb and flow, the everchanging movement of life everlasting. The beach never remains the same as the constant movement enables the shifting sands of time to move there place and space, resettling awhile, knowing however that another shift, another move, is imminent.
The shore is the place to be it seems.
Is there one Absolute Truth? Or is there infinite Truths? Or is there no Truth?... in the end, does it really matter?...
Perhaps it is more about the individual freedom to Be...OneSelf as a grain of sand
