A Grain Of Sand... Everything and Nothing..

[RevoCulture]

Any reflections on this thought process?

What if the human experience is like a single grain of sand?  Within this single grain lies all the things that makes being human, human.  This single grain of sand sits among other grains.  Each grain represents yet another experience of what it is like to be something or someone in our universe.  

Think of any beach, and then another, and then another.  Imagine picking up a handful of sand and letting it pour to the ground while getting that overwhelming sense of how many grains are in a single scoop.  How many beaches line the coastlines, how vast are the deserts, how expansive the plains and within all of these how many handfuls of sand, dirt, or soil; how many grains?

Is our single grain, the one that represents our experience, both amazing and arbitrary?  Is our experience something that feels like it is of utter importance and from another perspective just another aspect of life to be undertaken, no better or worse?  

Since it is our personal experience do we tend to inflate its value to the disruption and demise of others?  Do we get obsessed with other grains of sand before we fully understand our own?  Do we lust after super powers & imagine ourselves in ways foreign to the innate characteristics of our grain and why?   Do we lose the sense of our majestic nature when it is commonplace among every human, the ability to walk, talk, see, hear, smell, feel, think?   

Are our 5 senses, the character traits of this grain, not super powers; the same as any superhero?  Should we not learn how to master these capabilities, to hone them into skills that allow us to live harmoniously among one another, to care for one another, to steward our home?  Is it important to learn to crawl before walking, walk before running, learning balance before attempting acrobatics?  

Why do people seek out the abilities of senses beyond what has already been granted?  Why do people who have clearly not mastered what they have lust for more?  When people have not freed themselves from the chains of the lower nature lust and wield great power what typically happens?  Do we want people who don't know how to live in tightly knit community that functions harmoniously without tools of division and separation having "physic powers"?  Why are physic powers even lauded over, why are they so interesting, why do people get so excited and want them so badly?

Is there incredibly beauty and grace in welcoming what is common, what is now, the place in which we reside in the evolutionary spiral, humility?  Accepting our grain of sand and looking upon one another in awe and amazement for what we share and are capable of and not seeing it as curse, or lesser than, or commonplace; is this not part of the lesson?

My superpowers; I open my eyes, I move my blessed vessel to locations on this globe, I reach out and touch another's hand, they look softly into my eyes and mine theirs, lips part and words are exchanged, I drink them in and my heart warms... We reveal desires, we make plans.. we see ourselves within the other.. We function as an organism, taking care of one another.. Inter-dependence..   Isn't this the promise of great power, to make our lives amazing?  Don't we hold the ability to become all we dream but we haven't mastered the powers we currently possess?  Is getting wrapped up in abilities beyond what we have earned or mastered wise? 

This grain of sand, being human.. I will polish this grain.. I am but a single grain among countless others and I am content while also carefully carrying the desire for motion, movement to the next.. I am all things while embodying this fractal.  I lust, I am amazed, I desire more, I get lost but I have be shown the stepping stones through which i must pass and... the pain, the struggle, the contentment of many depends on humbly submitting to this grain, this step, this life, this expression..

Any feelings / thoughts?
