The document describes the journey of a grain of sand from a mountain to the ocean. It starts as a boulder on a mountain that is weathered by tree roots and erosion until it breaks apart. It then travels downstream as pieces in a river, being battered by the current until it reaches the ocean as a single grain of sand, having gone through erosion to end up in a place where it can finally rest.

Hadyn Portsea Camp 2012
The child enjoyed a trip to Queenscliff Fort where they saw old houses and learned about the fort's history from their tour guide Pam. They also liked traveling by ferry, which was windy but allowed them to go topside, and going rock pooling where they spotted sea stars and anemones. Additional activities on the trip included a tour on a polpero boat that was wobbly like the ferry but had living areas below deck, and eating fish and chips with friends.
Rock sideshow
Rocco, a grain of sand, tells the story of his journey from a rock in the mountains to becoming a grain of sand in the ocean. He was chipped off from his spot in the mountains when it got hotter and water started running. He weathered into smaller pieces as he was pushed down rivers and waterfalls. Along the way he broke into smaller and smaller pieces until he finally reached the ocean as a single grain of sand, completing his long journey.
Mountain Project 9
Ozzy the Obsidian was blown off a mountain by strong winds and tumbled down the cliff, calling for help. He fell into a river and was unable to swim, being carried along and breaking into smaller pieces of rock. Ozzy was eventually washed ashore, where the waves broke him down further until he was just a single grain of obsidian mixed in with the sand on the beach, relieved that his ordeal was over.

Chipys adventure
Chipy, a small rock, falls into a stream during a rockslide and begins a journey downstream. He passes through a fast mountain stream, a smooth mature river, a slower old river with many turns, and finally reaches a delta where he is washed out to sea and becomes a grain of sand on the beach. Though worried and missing his family throughout his adventure, Chipy remains determined and manages to survive each new challenge until arriving safely at the ocean.
We’re always sinking away
The document describes someone who feels abandoned and left behind emotionally by another person. They feel like they are drowning and sinking further away while the other person has moved on. While the other person may see it as a betrayal, the speaker would rather feel anything than continue being alone with their feelings of isolation and pain from the relationship ending.
Diana Jones. Ohio - een liedje voor de Lezers van Stavast
Tijdens bijeenkomsten van Lezers van Stavast komen niet alleen boeken 'voorbij', maar worden deelnemers ook attent gemaakt op andere 'zaken'. Zoals af en toe een liedje. Dit keer een liedje van de Amerikaanse Diana Jones. Van haar cd 'Museum of Appalchian recordings' (2013) het liedje 'Ohio'.
Bahams Celebration Cruise Ship Vacation
The document summarizes a couple's anniversary cruise on the Bahamas Celebration ship from West Palm Beach, Florida to Grand Bahama Island. While the author enjoyed aspects like seeing the model ship and Chris' first cruise experience, they disliked not having a window in their initial room, the rough trip there, loud announcements interrupting sleep, and getting an upset stomach from the food. Overall it was a nice experience for a one night trip on the small ship.

- 1. Journey of a Grain of Sand By Joelle Sabiniano
- 2. One day on a gigantic, old mountain, I was a huge, peaceful boulder, but that was until day after day I felt something coming closer and closer. Finally when it was close enough, it was all around me. The roots of a tree were in my cracks!! I believe this was called tree roots Whoosh!! Whoosh!! Oh no it was time for me to be physically weathered by erosion. CRACK!! CRACK!! The tree fell off of me!! YESS! CRACKK!!! !
- 3. I rolled down the mountain with only a quarter of my body left from side to side, left to right, and up and down. I heard a crack, then another, and another. I was in the young river. I have turned from one big piece to ten tiny pieces, because this part of the river was very strong, steep, and fast.
- 4. When I made it to the mature river, it wasn't that bad, though it had a little curl. The dizziness wasn't that bad as the next part. I just needed somewhere where I can have fun without getting separated.
- 5. Oh no!!! I was in the meander river where there wasn't any part to think, because it was winding all over. The meander was not nice, but I'd rather be in the meander than being in the next part of the river.
- 6. This was worse than anything else that happened. I was at the disgusting delta. All of the mountain stuff were here kind of like home, but it was still disgusting. I was incredibly ready for the next part since I've been through many things in my dangerous life.
- 7. I finally made it to the ocean. WHOOOSH!!! WHOOOSHHH!! Now what? Erosion has taken place. I was taken to the middle of the sea. Another whoosh!!! The waves picked me up and pushed me toward the beach. I was now just a grain of sand. Though I have been through a lot, I was happy because I was back to a spot where I can just sit and relax.
