What a funny idea that there are more stars in the heavens than grains of sand on the beach at which I sit. Scientists say that if all the beaches combined together, it still would be only a fraction of the stars.
I think sand is a lot like people. It groups together to fit in and yes, sometimes it's annoyingly stuck in your shoe - making you stumble - but that sand stays with you whenever or wherever you're headed. It travels to new places without hesitation and reminds you........... of places, of feelings, of ideas. Simple enough to be forgotten, complex enough to possess identity.
I like sand. And I'm learning to like people the same way.
