The Name

I choose the name "The Clock Sand" because it is symbolic of the life we live. The glass gives the perception that the sand is free to the light that reflects upon it. Yet, it is trapped in a clear bubble. At the beginning while the clock lies still on it's side no motion, no existence, no life. Then the intentions of a greater being or force move the clock upright...the top of the clock is full of sand and the bottom empty. The empty chamber represents the potential; the sand represents our perception of time all encased within the clear memory of the shape of the glass our journey through life. Slowly by gravity (destiny or the force of choice) the grains begin to transfer from one space to the other...each grain represents an experience in our existence. The tapered area of the clock separating the two chambers represents our present it is the place where our experience last the longest and through which we all pass given the life we live. Then it falls into the pit of the chamber that represents our memory. Each little grain represents a singular opportunity in our lives...a single experience potential before and a single experience memory after...therefore what is represented upon this text is a my view of the sand in the clock. Sometimes while I am it, trapped within it, and sometimes when I am lucky and can escape its grasp of singular and bound sentience from outside of it.
