Tik Tak Tik Tak
Leave your footsteps in the "sands of time". But never "snows" of time. Why ?
Because sand doesn't melt ?
Because sand is more hospitable to life ?
But isn't snow allways cleaner than sand ?
Well, I left mine.

May be because time flows like sand (you know the hour glass thingy)and hence the analogy. And yes snow melts and leaves behind a lot of slush. But leaving a footprint....that's all that actually matters. Doesn't matter where.
Late on the scene, but have to say that the "Housewives are expensive" post merits a Nobel!
@m - great explanation. thats what I was looking for.
@hiren - you made me think that perhaps I should have taken a different shot - perhaps a long shot of a series of my footsteps up that hill. Interesting that you mention vipasanna. I've been wanting to enroll in Goenka's class for years now.
@a_fool_on_the_hill - I'm noticing some remarkable differences among my friends as we progrss along our career. Friends with a working mate are much more likely to take career risks like starting a company or going back to school. Both education and risk taken are directly proportional to rewards achieved. I am sure we will soon see the vast difference of wealth among the two types in my generation.
Hey! Thanks for dropping by :)
What if its cold enough and the snow turns to ice with your footprint preserved for posterity in a place where the cold never lets up? Sands keep shifting you know. Clever!
