A Grain of Sand

---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----If I carried a grain of sand
And I placed it on some distant land
I did this over a billion times
Im still no closer to eternal life

I wrote one like this in a different time James but the context was very similar. I felt that while we are very flambouyantly patterned by the thinking of the Great One, it is never any closer to what the limitless capabilities our mind can comprehend. I will publish it and it is quite in the same line.

Love it and thanks
