Grains Of Sand

“The whole world is a series of miracles, but we are so used to seeing them that we call them ordinary things.” – Hans Christian Andersen

Have you ever seen sand under a microscope?

Grains as small and seemingly insignificant as a tenth of a millimeter in size which to the naked eye seem uniform, normal, ordinary...when you look closer reveal an extraordinary world made up of billions of individual miracles. Every beach, dune, and shoreline is unique just as every single grain is unique - made of spirals of shell, fragments of coral, and bits of volcanic rock - telling the story of the very earth itself - each grain a mesmerizing snapshot in time and a fingerprint of the past.

On those days when it feel like the magic has gone from the world, when the days blend together and when the skies feel dark...maybe we just need to look around...and then look a bit closer...we may just find a universe of small miracles that's been waiting to be discovered right at the tips of our fingers.
