“A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May,
Although it fall and die that night,
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportions we just beauties see,
And in short measures life may perfect be.”

“It’s bright pinky-white sand was made entirely of shell dust, like star dust, among which, if you sifted it with your fingers, were infant shells as small as the grains but perfectly shaped. Scattered over the surface were larger shells of many kinds and shapes, some as delicate as flower petals, others, though small, built to withstand any battering sea.”

And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down”

One of my personal favorites, the colors, details, like a distant nebula in a far away galaxy. The sky will never cease to amaze me. 💜
Was the mythical parting of the Red Sea triggered by Moses’ outstretched hand or an unusual chain of perfectly natural causes?
Volzinger and Androsov calculated that a wind blowing at the speed of 67 miles per hour sustained overnight could have exposed a reef that existed close below the ocean surface. The Israelites could have then fled over the passage before the wind died down and waters rose again, blocking the way for pursuing Egyptian soldiers in their wheeled chariots.
Volzinger explains that some 3,500 years ago, the reef would have been closer to the water’s surface so it would have been exposed for just the right amount of time.
“It would take the Jews … four hours to cross the 7-kilometer reef that runs from one coast to another,” Volzinger told The Moscow Times. “Then, in half an hour, the waters would come back.”
A miracle? Perhaps. Great timing? Certainly, argues Colin Humphreys, a physicist at Cambridge University in England.

We are born with mouths that close and ears that don’t. You’d think that must tell us something.

In purple, gold, and blue,
With tints of rainbow hue
Mocking the sunset skies.’
