What comes up for you when you hear the word stars or sand?

Excerpts from “The Wishing Game” by Meg Shaffer:

“The sand was so cold on his naked feet it felt wet.”

“He found his shoes and dusted the sand from them.”

Excerpt from “Getting Fit With Walker,” by Glenda Ferguson:

“I was fascinated by the twinkling stars and the phases of the moon. Those moments focused me on the present, not on what worries tomorrow might bring.”
