A Diamond can shatter when it’s hit with a hammer!
A diamond is the hardest material in the world. It can easily score steel, glass, ceramics and other hard objects. However it has another characteristic. It is easily shattered. I remember reading a story by Wilbur Smith where a protagonist destroys millions of dollars of diamonds with a simple hammer and anvil. […]
Wasting Time
Have you ever spent a day lying on your back in the sunshine, becoming part of the quiet, hearing the sounds of insects, feeling the prickle of grass on your skin? (If not, then, try and select a day from your memory banks that is very similar in terms of resting, not working, and not [...]
