: Ah, my friend, it seems that what appears

: drop of water but also can be a cloud
: floating high in the air and when
: circumstances are just so I can be as hard
: as a rock. So as you observe water you are
: looking a just a moment in time and I appear
: as a thing. But if you could observe more
: closely you would see that water is always
: changing.
