The Unity of Little Things

Audio: The Unity of Little Things

There is a drop of water so little so insignificant
Nobody ever notices its much short-lived presence
But when a little drop and still more little drops
Come together as one, there emerges a mass of water
And the very massive ocean that no one can ignore
Is made up of those multitudes of united little drops

Over there lies a solitary brick, just a simple brick
Nobody wants anything to do with its solitude
But when a simple brick and still more simple bricks
Come together as one, it is a lovely house that shows up
And the very mansion that everyone fancies deeply
Is made up of those multitudes of united simple bricks

And that particular small step that leads nowhere
Its sure fate is to be forgotten the very next minute
But when a small step and still more small steps
Come together as one, a worthwhile destination is reached
And the very memorable journey that everyone cherishes
Is made up of those multitudes of united small steps
