In each characteristic, there are distinguishing points for us to elaborate from.
Could you imagine the tiniest of specks that could be seen by a naked eye that has all these features?
Say hello to the star-shaped granule of sand.
The heat of the sun was scorching when Rep. Edwin Aldan led a group of reporters to a place that everybody, if not all, would like to see in order to believe.
This place is Chulu beach on the island of Tinian. What the group saw on that beach was something they hardly believed, but it was there and they saw it with their own eyes.
Aldan said that he himself could not believe at first that these things could be found in the island where he grew up.
He only knew just recently that there is a star-shaped granule of sand on Chulu beach, the site where the U.S. military first made a dramatic landing on the island while fighting against the Imperial Army of Japan during the World War II.
The group started scoping the sand with their bare hands and focused on every granule that spread in their palms as they tried to scatter it around, hoping to find that star-shaped sand.
Unknowingly, the group found hundreds of them but couldn’t confirm it then.
Only when they did return home and scanned over the pictures they took at the beach, it was very clear there were countless of them.
But it took only less than five minutes for Aldan to get one. It was amazing indeed seeing that tiny granule of sand in perfect star shape.
It was a masterpiece of sort and a wonder of all wonders.
If you have a chance, stop by Chulu Beach on Tinian, find your star-studded sand and remember we could find complexity and beauty in even the tiniest of particles that are often taken for granted.
