[To comprehend a grain of sand]

[To comprehend a grain of sand]

To comprehend a grain of sand --

Seems an easy task -- 

Yet who will ever understand --

The smallest on the beach?

Consider then an ocean wide --

What reason question ask?

Experience -- be touch of tide --

Essence -- none can reach.

Those tiny grains of sand are little bits of boulder. Everything is tied together in some way, no matter how minutely. Thinking on the smallest particles residing in the vastness of it all is so overwhelming. Thought provoking, David. Angi~
