FragmentS around the Sand

Walk slowly with me until we reach the other end of the sea, pick up a bucket of sand and throw it all over the land; dig a hole in the earth and plant a tree for the universe; it will tell you what to do so that your dream can come through. Daylight burst through the ceiling with a coffee mug, pudding pans, hammer, chain saw, pickup truck and two dozen handy men with a vision wrapped up in heaven. Take them with you to the sea and circle around the coast and recharge the engine in the boat, turn the compass to the north then pivot to the south, go slightly towards the east then maneuver to the west and there you will find your Sunday best; the sun is baking in the East and message is wrapped up in the belly of the beast. Time has no time to spare so organize your team before you get there, the tectonic plates are shifting; the mountain is lifting and the wave is sweeping the mountain away, you have got to set up a thousand flood lights so that you can workday and night and move the mountain from the sea and build a mansion for you and me. You have got to hire ten thousand strong men to work on shift to complete the lion’s den, they must work, day and night with no pause between except for when they change the shift. Twenty thousand men completed the Taj Mahal, twenty thousand men laying concrete that parachute to the heavens; twenty thousand men work together with one mission to build the world most renown structure; twenty thousand men lift the stone from top of the hill to build the Taj Mahal and the pyramid of Ginza. Look for the fragments in the sand and make it drain for one day before the activities begin. Create a solid base with concrete and well cured steel, thread it around three times and seal the pockets with sturdy iron and look for the fragments in the sand and get rid of them before you land.
