The ones who read will say
That the ocean covers 71% of the Earth’s surface,
And the rest is land.

The ones who see will say
That the ocean is the final destination
For rivers that flow from the mountains and plains.

But the ones who know will say
That the ocean has mastered the art of letting go
With every wave that rushes towards the shore.

Yes, it lets go of grains of sand
And those, in turn, build the coast.
Yes, it lets go of precious shells, pearls, and many more.

And, it’s worth giving a thought
To what would have been if this were not.
What if the ocean held everything inside itself?

The answer, my friends, is very simple.
For, if the ocean hoarded it all,
It would cease to exist and completely lose its form.

So there it is, now you also know –
Letting go is not a recipe for loss,
But a path for life and growth.
