Sophia sat in meditation on the riverbank when a student bent down to place two enormous pearls at her feet as a gift.tShe opened her eyes to see the pearls. She picked one up, but dropped it. It rolled down the hill upon which she was sitting and into the river. The student chased after it and looked all afternoon, diving, coming up for air, diving back down.t“Sophia,” he asked. “Could you show me where it went in? I can’t find it.”t“Right there,” she said throwing the other pearl in the river.
