It’s funny how non-Americans are so fast to call us “stupid” when they’re always so far behind us in everything!

She said they look LIKE jewelry beads, not that they ARE jewelry beads, or that she wished she could use them AS jewelry beads. What a fool you are! My goodness, I know you will never see this, but what a fool you are anyway! For shame.

First lab in mineralogy class we looked at samples of sand from around the world under a microscope. Most of the sand in the world is made of quartz. It didn’t look very interesting. It looks very much like the photographer just picked a bunch of fossils and pretty minerals out of sand and set them up to look nice.

Another mystery revealed in God’s creation

The smallest things we take for granted contain the most purest forms of natural beauty on the face of the earth.

I have been looking in the wrong direction for so many years. Thanks for this enlightenment and perspective.

Sand isn’t as mundane as people think. It’s crazy that life can be packed into something so teeny as a “grain of sand” no? I think that’s pretty wonderful… whether it’s in your eye or not.
