Neptunian meditation 

You are a drop in the ocean
Surrounded by and mixing with all the other drops. Filling the world, touching its extents, spreading life.
You are a drop in the ocean

Mingling with all the other drops, sharing what you've found and tasting what they've brought. The ocean is richer, and deeper, because of you.
You are a drop in the ocean.
