Waves of Life......Amazing & Full of Wonder

I am amazed. I am wondered. I am blushed with the colours of Life.
Even, after crossing approximately half of my Life path, I am still getting wondered about lot of happenings, while trying to understand the dynamism of Life. Am I lucky to be amazed still or I am too foolish that I could not understand it fully yet? I am not sure. But, as the mentors suggest to be optimistic, I take it in a way that, I am blessed to be wondered.
Sometimes, I feel that the Life is a BIG & BIG ocean. And I am only another wave of this ocean - one of such uncountable numbers. Is it a pity to be so common or so normal? I don't take it in that way. I may be only another common wave of this supreme entity, but still I am One. I am unique. This wave is definitely unique, even in this large ocean. I have my own potential. I have my own movement. I have my own flow. Although, all of these so called MY things are only received from the ocean itself and they add value to that ocean only, they glorify the existance of the same ocean only,still they are MINE too. And surprisingly, while every other wave of this ocean is doing the same thing, they are unique to each other. And thus, while somebody looks into the ocean from the sea sore, they are amazed. While a photographer intends to capture the memory, he just goes on clicking his button, because at that particular point of time, he finds every wave a new one, a unique one. But, he fails to recognise which one is better than others. Hence, all of the waves are important to capture then. But, while he goes through all those images afterwards, he probably finds not much difference between all those snaps of waves. All seems to be same to each other. What a great conflict. Again, what a great unification. I am amazed. I am wondered, how to explain my realisation. To Life, all of us are equally unique, equally important yet equally same to each other. All starts their journey getting the power within from the ocean and all comes to an end within the same ocean. No wave can leave the ocean. He can neither get something, which was not there in the ocean, neither it can take anything out of the same ocean. Amazing!! isn't it?

All of these waves contain the same recipe, taken from the same ocean. All of them are equally beautiful, taken the beauty from the ocean. All of them are having the same potential, obtained from the current of the ocean . All of them are individual as well as a part of the great creation. So, all of them are virtually having all the same qualities as the ocean.

So, are the waves same as Ocean?

In a way, I can say "Yes". They are the miniature of the ocean itself. Hence, I can definitely feel that, "I am Life". In Sanskrit, we pronounce it as "Soham", which means "I am the same as He is". Somebody, interprets the "He" as the "God". I interpret in my way as "Life". Please Forgive me, if someone does not agree with me in this.
But, surprisingly I realise "No" too. The ocean contains the waves, but the vice-versa is not true. So, definitely Soham is true, i.e., I am the He. But, He is not all about me only. He is much beyond myself. life is spread much beyond my visibility, my very existance.

Confusing....conflicting.....self-contradicting. And thus, full of wonder, full of possibilities, truely unique. Let me walk few more steps down the path to relate it further..............and I am ready to wait till the end of my path.
