How Does Zen Work In The Rain?

What happens when a raindrop lands in a river? Does it reach nirvana and become one with the watery infinite? Do its molecules dance in the current, and when they sing with joy for being free do we hear it as the sound of water rushing?

And what about the raindrop that misses the river and lands on the beach? Does it reach nirvana when it splashes on the sharp dry sand and spreads out, thinner and thinner, until it reaches all the other raindrops falling and spreading out?
