Peter's drop of water story

I remember Peter telling the old story common to a sufi teaching,
about life being like the drop of water in the stream. It is deemed to
join the ocean eventually. Yet in the meantime, it tumbles at times in
the rapids, or reach calmer lakes before it goes on in its journey.
Every now and then, the drop gets to be splashed above the stream by
the currents, as in after bumping against a rock, and gets to see the
light and says all excited: "I got it, I know, now I really think I
know!" Then it falls back down into the stream, on its journey towards
the ocean.

Well Peter, it looks like this drop of water has finally made it to
the ocean.
