i now rest upon a shore far from where i came being once a part of the greater earth and before this a billion particles of this and that of which i know not ive tumbled for untold years in the ocean pushed pulled by the tides of universal law at times carressed by the suns light upon my face among many a multitude of the like yet my form is unique and timeless dissolving ever so slowly i notice my place and know i will return once again into the existence i have been and will be at times it feel like forever this state of permenance this hard exsterior only softened by the space between myself and the others who like me long for the ocean to remove the outer layer to reveal the inner core the reality within all the all within reality .
