 Great outer beach of Cape Cod facing the Atlantic Ocean Early morning a lone figure leaving footprints on the sands of time and you will see that indeed the waves move Lots of sand as the waves come in and out and in and out They keep moving sand Ceaselessly relentlessly notice the foot is on top of the sand when the wave comes in the foot is getting Really cold because that water is just straight out of the Arctic Ocean Practically and now they sand over the foot and when the next wave comes in and the one after you will see that indeed the waves are moving Sand in out in out as they do so they sort it little pieces are taken out to deep water and lost Big pieces are not moved at all and the in-between ones are swirling around the foot and another wave comes in And that was really cold and the hairy-legged soul here is soon going to be buried under the sand And you can see how much sand is moved in just a couple of ways
