That bad boy is my job! Literally... as a storm water engineer, the water cycle keeps me employed. Much obliged. But something about the water cycle and my faith clicked this week. I was running along a trail and there was one of those beautiful rock boulder walls along the side. This trail used to be a rail line so it has those walls of rock outcroppings that grow over with moss and have water coming down in little falls depending on how recently it rained. It was quite lovely and captured my attention.
It took be back to a book I have read a couple times called "Hind's Feet in High Places" by Hannah Hurnard. The water is described so beautifully and with a song that all the droplets sing together as they perfectly flow. (Water Song) Taking in the mini falls and having that memory come to mind, made me see we are all like water droplets. Part of a bigger cycle and system because water that is alive is moving. In life we are moving forward with time. Sometimes our role as a droplet is to become part of something growing and be taken up by a tree. We are a part of for a while, until respirated out, and continue on our journey. That gave me peace because it is okay to stay where you are sometimes and then there is a time to be released, and move on to the next part of the cycle.
A droplet can do so much on its own, but they are stronger together and can be a truly magnificent force. They go through so many places as part of the cycle, and do it over and over again. How lovely to think of the single droplet and its purpose.
