the ocean

the wave is the specific and unique expression of the entire ocean_the wave is the entire ocean_everything is a wave_but the wave doesn‘t exist by itself_there is no such thing as a wave only_if there is a wave, there has to be an ocean around somewhere_like a wave, once we are quiet, we can feel our true nature, deep and huge like the ocean-infinite_we are the ocean and the wave at the same time.
