The water that goes to the sea...- Ecclesiastes 1:7

Well, my friends, after a weekend with a lot of rain in Jerusalem, I decided to write on the water today.

The water in the bible has a lot of meanings, but today we are going to look at one verse in the book of Ecclesiastes, a verse that always bring into my mind a lot of questions:
"כָּל-הַנְּחָלִים הֹלְכִים אֶל-הַיָּם, וְהַיָּם אֵינֶנּוּ מָלֵא; אֶל-מְקוֹם, שֶׁהַנְּחָלִים הֹלְכִים--שָׁם הֵם שָׁבִים, לָלָכֶת"

"All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; unto the place whither the rivers go, thither they go again.

This verse speak about the water, but it seems to be that the water here is not just the liquid , the H20, it's also a symbol to our life, we are all going in different ways, but the end and the beginning are the same.
Furthermore, we are all going to a place that is not going to be perfect because only one is perfect and endless, this is God!
The sea will never be full because it can't, like the stories of other people, fight against the Almighty.

There's a program in the T.V. that my small kid likes to see, the circle of life, and this are the same situation with the water, where they go they will come back, what a beautiful metaphor...
The process is different with every one of us, but in the edges we are all one!
