A grain of sand moving along the beach
One in a billion with no power to move on its own
Winds blow it up in the air
Only to have the water bury its weight on it
Water tries to glue it into a rippled mold
Then to have the tides recede into sunlight
Opening up cracks which filter down into single identities
To be taken on another path
And in the individuality of one single form
Others will continuously merge
Joining a single forming
A beach survives

We are those grains of sand, millions intermingled. One grain can never make a beach, and one human heart cannot live
alone.

Interesting, how you compared a grain of sand with an individual here on this earth. However, together we all make something, it can either be good or bad. Very creative!

(sigh) BRAVO!!! Yes, we are all individuals, and not one of us is the same, and it takes more than one to make a change to affect us all, in a confluence of harmony and inspiration to the world. (sigh) Your wonderful words always are filled with wisdom, I love them all! (big hugggsssss) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Leslie, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
