this is the first sandstorm i’ve seen in ages…i tried taking pictures n got my phone all dusty so there wont be none of that!
Honestly, i think sandstorms are pretty cool. (hear me out!!) How would you like the idea of opening your door, and seeing a heap( read LOADS) of sand on your doorstep. You realize that this sand probably came from the bowels of the desert miles and miles away. No! wait! how bout realizing that this bit of sand could be centuries old….that it got shifted from way deep down..what if that that bit of sand once lay under Cleopatra’s feet, or hey! maybe even Moses!!
I found this pic on google, n i think its hot..so its here. reason enough.
Ok now you’re thinking that i’m getting carried awaay a bit ( like sand in the wind!!yeeeeehaaa!) but that’s just the point!! sandstorms could become a philosophy unto themselves!! Allow me to blah blah.
Sand lies in the desert. A grain of sand alone is not of much use (unless it can find its way into an oyster!), but a sea of sand together is a force to be reckoned with!! (refer The mummy, the mummy returns, Scorpion King, Warriors of Heaven and Earth etc etc etc…). They lie still baking in the sun for centuries, and when the wind comes and calls (getting a tad bit too poetic but hey…!!) they rise and move covering miles, sinking cities, unearthing pasts, causing traffic accidents in places, defeating armies, ( oh oh oh! there’s this amazing scene in Sindbad the sailor, where the desert floor shifts and changes to unearth an ancient city..!!). The point is that, i think the desert is really cool. Sand for one is like a god-form. It can bury a person deep enough to kill, or it just be a fun place to have a picnic. Let me get poetic here again and say that the wind and the sand, together become curtains that cover the remains of one age, only to uncover it in another. They stand for one of those giant metaphors that nature throws at us.
Oh and by the way. for those of you who think i’m high right now and should be taken off the net, you’re probably right, but this is my first sandstorm in three years!! yayyyy!!
p.s. if u still think i need to simmer down, may the sand-god sink u!! hahahaha..
