Read:
There was a drop in a river spring.
It was a simple drop, nothing more than that.
But in her insignificance she had a utopia, a dream.
She dreamed of one day, after overcoming the current and reaching the waters, becoming the sea.
Why, what pretension! A drop, a simple drop, wanting to become a sea…
It was difficult, she knew, but not impossible.
And holding on to that thread of hope, she followed its natural river course, always thinking about the day she would find the ocean.
Challenges arose: rocks, evaporation, branches, among other obstacles, but she never gave up.
Other drops that left with her did not reach the end, they remained along the way.
She, however, perhaps because of her persistence, because of the faith she had, in one way or another, knew that one day she would get there; and indeed, it arrived.
She overcame all obstacles, reached the waters and finally realized her big dream.
Today that drop, that tiny drop, is sea.
Thanks to his persistence, he achieved what was considered a utopia, an immeasurable pretension.
It doesn't matter, today that drop is sea.
