Reading the story of the planet on rocks.

But don’t be fooled.

The story of our cosmos is not carved on stone.

Our story is written on water.

Ever changing. Ever present. Part of everything. Including everything. Bringing up tides. Bringing down mountains. From the fierce oceans to the calm lakes. From the dark clouds to the morning breeze. Writing history. In the most permanent way possible.

A drop of water disappearing into the ocean.

And at its last moments of existence.

Whispering gently to the world.

I am not just a drop of water falling into an ocean.

Watch me and fear!

For I will extinguish the fire of the world!
