Summarized Thoughts

  The grey cloud smoothly glided along, and from it fell one droplet of water. The cloud criticized its size as it let the little droplet loose. The droplet plunged towards earth, as a falcon plummeting upon its prey. The speed of its descent increased as fast as its altitude decreased, and the droplet ended its vertical journey with a resounding "...plink..." into the rough dirt. Gathering together once again, each fragment of the droplet seeped downwards through the soil, enduring every grain of the earth condescending with regards to the droplet's importance. The droplet rolled down a worms tunnel for a measure, and then clung to a pebble. The pebble shook it loose along with an insult to keep the droplet company. Rolling, filtering, dripping, flowing, on and on the droplet made its way until it finally joined an underground stream. Rushing along, the stream burst out into the daylight and down a hill. At the bottom of that, it became a component of a river, which became a component of a yet larger mobile body of water. This fed into the ocean. The next day, a tremor broke the foundations of the ocean, and a surge of water heaved and blasted across the surface of the ocean, towards land. It crushed an island, and eventually annihilated a block of the mainland... The cloud apologized for its criticisms, the soil pleaded for mercy, and the pebble retracted its insults.
