Heroes Not Zombies

This is how I see Life.
We are all like waves on the surface of the sea.
We all emerge, temporarily, from the universe, from the cosmos, from the continuous, and inseparably connected all that is.
Slow down the movie of the sea, and you’ll see that each wave is unique. It has its distinct form. It appears in a specific time and place and it is constantly changing.
It never disconnects from its source and it returns to the sea, from whence it came.
We are like that. We emerge from the cosmos, never separate from it, constantly changing and in existence for a very short time in the history of the universe.
Of course, waves make an impact too. Together, and with other forces they create the specific shapes of the islands and the coasts of the land masses.
We make an impact too. Some impacts affect only a few people around us, other ones spread far and wide. Some are brief, and others last for generations….
