Learning to be Selfless from the Wave & the Shore...



Selfless love can easily be understood by observing the waves that come, break into the shoreline…and just vanish. 

While looking far into the horizon, one can spot the mighty Wave approaching speedily with all its vigor and energy towards us. But the real action happens when it meets the Shore. As soon as it strikes into the sand…all its passion, strength, and roughness gets soaked into the sparkling, tiny, lifeless, sedentary granules of the raw sand. The Wave shares all its richness, and leaves all its treasures, even its own identity, with the trustworthy Shore…and calmly go back to return later! 

On the other hand, this departure of the Wave is not a parting sign for the Shore. Instead, it shows their strong mutual understanding. Shoreline knows, no matter how far the Wave would dive…it would, for sure, soon hurry back to embrace its still-standing and awaiting sand.  

Furthermore, whenever a Wave approaches its longing Shore…neither of them judge each other, nor do they ever complain. Their nonverbal communication, trust, honesty, and mutual respect is simply a life-lesson that we all need to learn! No matter how dirty and messy either of them are, they just quickly embrace one another to wipe-off all their signs of destruction, while converging all their focus on healing their emptiness. Just having a pure fulfilling moment, is their goal…!

Whereas conceding as an act of gratitude, sedentary Shore always joins the Wave on its return ride. The truth is…Shore always wants to be with the Wave…no matter how far it desires to travel. So without being a burden and showcasing its own identity, Shore quietly lets some of its sand particles to just freely float away with the Wave, for forever… 

No matter how small it may be, one can always find a part of Shore in its Wave. Whereas, the Wave…combating with all the forces of our Mother Nature…always finds rest and peace in the wide spread, selfless embrace of its Shore.

So, until next time;
Let's all try to be (little) selfless...
