Buddhist Thought for the Day

Okay - I'm a relatively intelligent person, and I've been studying Buddhism for a little over two years now. But I have NO IDEA what this means. I get daily "Buddhist Thought for the Day" on my igoogle home page, and I really have no idea what they're trying to say with this one. If you understand it, please let me know - thanks!

Buddhism: Your Daily Meditation
A myriad bubbles were floating on the surface of a stream. 'What are you?' I cried to them as they drifted by. 'I am a bubble, of course' nearly a myriad bubbles answered, and there was surprise and indignation in their voices as they passed. But, here and there, a lonely bubble answered, 'We are this stream', and there was neither surprise nor indignation in their voices, but just a quiet certitude. - Ask the Awakened by Wei Wu Wei
