I looked at the cloud and thought of samsara. Cloud is formed by evaporated water from the earth. Water from the earth is formed by the rain dropping on the earth. The rain is formed by the condensed water from the cloud. And cloud is formed by... So, it forms a circle. From where I work, people would use the term 'circularity'.
If each cloud represents a person, there would be my sister and all of us among these clouds. I thought to myself if my sister was to fall and leave us, where would she be going and would she be joining us back as the same old her?
When she fell, she would become plenty of droplets and then landed at multiple places. It could be sea, mountain, house swimming pool, crops, open lands, etc. She would be everywhere. Each droplet of her might be evaporated together with other droplet from other cloud, rose up to the sky and formed a new cloud. This new cloud wouldn't be the whole her but the whole cloud would have some of her.
She would be ended up everywhere and it might took years before she was one piece again. Till then, I might be separated into many clouds also too and wouldn't be whole me for some times. It could really take many many years, might be centuries before we were together again.
However, she was not a cloud but a human. If she was to forever to sleep beneath the earth surface, she would slowly become part of the earth and would most likely be providing nutrients to the earth to grow plants. She would be in many plants. Those plants might slowly be the food to human and she would ends up in human bodies. She would be nutrients to grow babies in mommys. She would end up be part of many human and she would be whole her again after many cycles.
If there is samsara, I guess that's what it is.
