For every atom is created with a destiny in this world and others.
William Blake definitely acknowledged it in his poem - "World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour.."
I was on a holiday at Maldives and ever since I spotted the little intricately designed bubble shaped shells it has only captivated me more. (the left image below)
The flawless white color, the even soft texture, the hollowness of it, the 2 uniform dots to the end and the perfectly aligned little pores forming almost an exact pattern on every single shell bubble.
The most notable thing about it was its sublime nature was its zeal of being firm in its existence inspite of its extreme fragility. I almost felt like i was holding a little miracle.
Its strange how the design was almost in a similar Star pattern. The Star as a symbol holds a lot of importance in Indian and Western mythologies and cultures. Its also observed that snow when broken down and researched breaks down in a star like formation. However that is a whole other world to explore.
My curious self googled it a bit and found someone had like me expressed their amazement towards it and found the shell on the right and their observations were as follows.

They are Christ Coins … the five slots represent the wounds on Christ's feet and hands, and the wounds to his head from the crown of thorns. The smaller slot at the bottom represents the wound in His side given to Him by the Centurion's spear.’
I have always called them sand dollars...Christ coins is interesting...I know that if they are broken open there are little pieces inside kind of look like doves...’
Wow....
