Wave Action

We humans can get so full of ourselves. We like to think that we command the world. We act like our species is the end all, be all of creation.

Yet, if no human ever walked on planet earth, the tides of the mighty oceans would be unaffected. The tide would come in, go out, then repeat the cycle.

What human being or human trait is as consistent as that? I can't think of any.

If you stand in the early light of dawn on an ocean beach and look out at the mystery of the water, you realize that the world doesn't need human intervention to survive. You realize we are each part of something greater than our singular existence.
