| Sand magnified up to 300 times Intelligent Living |
Rocks
Big rocks into pebbles,
pebbles into sand.
I really hold a million million rocks here in my hand.

I've just been reading about the rich poetic language the field of geology offers us.... and now this. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteNice! Seems like a good one to memorize, too. (Janet has got me thinking about memorizing poems.)
ReplyDeleteI've seen Amador's stills, but not this awesome video, Michelle. It feels like my 'wabi-sabi' for today. And, I'll share with my family while thinking of our next beach trip! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI kind of adore this poem. And Tabatha's comment has me reading it over and over to memorize.
ReplyDeleteA million million rocks! Yes!
ReplyDeleteSand is the best. I want to create an earthscape right now.
ReplyDeleteI want to take one of Andres Amador's workshops and become one with the million million rocks. :)
ReplyDeleteWow....those earthscapes.
ReplyDeleteAndres Amador's Earth Art pieces are fascinating, loved the images from atop too, and the foaming water rolling over! Fun poem on "a million million rocks" too, thanks Michelle!
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the sand is mind-blowing, as is Andres Amador's work. Sweet little poem. Thanks for a lovely post.
