The Sands of Time

This is the sand glass that holds the "time" that is our lives. 

How much sand will be used depends on how we live and how we treat the vessel that is given to us that house our souls. 

When a day is done, 

 a tiny grain drops marking the passage of time. What does that grain hold; our thoughts, feelings, experiences, joys, sorrows, and all the things that defined us on that given day.

And so it goes on, each day another grain falls and lands upon the others that formed the foundation.
These are our memories and we must be grateful for them.

"Time is the most undefinable yet paradoxical of things; the past is gone, the future is not come, and the present becomes the past even while we attempt to define it, and, like the flash of lightning, at once exists and expires."
~Charles Caleb Colton
