Book Launch

THE SANDS OF TIME

by Barbara Silverman

Readings, Discussions, Stories on Mythology, History, Astronomy, Wildlife

Time is like grains of sand. It obscures the past, confusing the history that we try to unravel. Presenting puzzles and forming mysteries that may or may not be solved. Sometimes the sand is visible, covering and hiding that which lies beneath. Sometimes the sand cannot be seen – it is simply the passage of time, forever carrying away pieces that we search for. And when the sands of time flow into the future, past that hidden veil preventing us from seeing beyond this moment, what will they carry with them. What from our time will remain? And what will be gone forever? That question is still to be answered.
