Peaceful video. Brings to mind one of my favorite quotes involving sand.
"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia.
Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here." Richard Dawkins from Unweaving the Rainbow
Good of you to stop by, EM. I was thinking about you a couple weeks ago, wondering how you've been. Funny how time can pass and then out of the blue I think of someone from the past. I'm the type of person that...once you're in my heart... well... if I finish that it will only be corn-ball city. But thats just how I am.
