“Grandfather, why is the sky BLUE?”
“My child, the sky is blue because it is a reflection of the water below.”
“Grandfather, then why is the water blue?”
“My child, the water is blue because it is a reflection of the sky above.”
“I do not understand, Grandfather.”
“Look at the sky. What do you see?”
“There is one sky stretching as far as I can see, Grandfather.”
“Yes. It matters not where upon the Earth we stand. The sky extends unbroken as far as we can see…. and even beyond that.
“Look at the water. What do you see?”
“There are many waters, Grandfather, and they are all different.”
“Yes. Some are very tiny and thread their way almost unnoticed. Others are very large and command your attention.
“Some are like mighty thunder and can be heard from afar. Others are quiet and you hear them not.
“Some are so deep they extend to the very heart of the Earth. Others are so shallow they live only on the surface of the Earth.
“Some are so clear you can see all that is in them. Others are so dark you can see nothing at all.
“Some travel with the lightness and joy of youth. Others travel with the dignity of age.
“Yes. There are, indeed, many waters.
“So, my child, just as there is one sky, so is there One Creator who extends throughout the Universe … and even beyond that.
But, the Creator is not separate from the Creations, nor are the Creations separate from the Creator …
Rather, they are reflections of each other. So, what One is that also is the Other.”
