Wherever its caravan turns along the way,
That is my belief,
My faith. — Ibn Arabi
In a single breath, more molecules of air will pass through your nose than all the grains of sand on all the world’s beaches – trillions and trillions of them. These little bits of air come from a few feet or several yards away.

Each form has its pluses and its minuses. — Margaret Atwood
