The Lost Might

The Sun was far, hot and big
Before I trapped him in my camera;
Like the mighty sea lost its might
When carried away in a bucket.

Very nice, Jenish. Compare and contrast the large and the small - the mighty brought down to size! Congratulations on your HM!

Very interesting, Jenish! The capturing of big and powerful things in small and weaker vessels.

Yes.. We, the weaker vessels, are part of the universal consciousness..

Thank you Gershon.. We usually forget in our individual buckets that we are all part of the mighty universal consciousness...
