Textures of the Heart

What does sand and granite have in common? They are both textures of earth but they have significant opposites as well For sand cannot crush granite – but granite can crush sand forming layer upon layer The sand cannot sift through or even dissolve when wet for the granite is much to hard and solid It creates tension between these two earthly textures and whenever this sort of tension rises… consequences are sure to follow them every step of the way It just goes to show that sand and granite may be earthly textures but they should never be used for the same building structure
