Though many dictionaries define
sand as consisting of rock and
mineral matter only, it omits most of
its other intriguing aspects, such as
the shells, fossils, corals, algae, and
its related material, such as
gemstones, volcanic material, and
fossilized plants and animals often
found within a single small sample.

"Stones are
primordial matter.
Sand is matter
ground by the
infinity of time. It
makes one
mindful of
eternity. Sand is
matter, which has
been transformed
And has almost
become liquid
and spiritual."
