What notion is your time and what are the moments that make up all the ages of a world for you?

Question

I see time in the motion of all things, in the circling of the Moon round the Earth, and the Earth round the Sun, in the blossoming of flower, and then in their withering away, in the comings and goings of the days and nights of our live, in the seasons of our years, and in transitional states of all things natural. I see time stored away in the hearts as emotions of inspiration and gratitude about human conduct, or as feelings of sorrow and sadness.

But I see moments in time as golden mints raining down from silver clouds heavens above, the coins that if you do not seize in the instant they touch the ground would thaw and dissolve to become water, to be gone out of reach, forever.

Answer 1

to me time is not to be lost...

time makes memories

memories are moments in life

at the end... when we are short of time... we have the memories... a snap shot into the past

if i where you i would grab one of those golden mints raining down and treasure it forever

Answer 2

if time is the additions of moments, be them millions or more, then conceptually moments are also stored in our emotions, in our feelings etc. etc.. So we can also store moments. they are virtually not lost. moments will hold our actions of seconds or of even of rather more smaller division of time.

It is important what we let our moments to hold for us. as they would be speaking either for us or against us in the space of eternity. this moment is the most important moment in our life cause this is the moment we invest on our future (after-life) to cash in when the after-life becomes the moment of this time.

Answer 3

The past is another country.

Answer 4

A blink of an eye and it is gone, away from sight, and the memory of these lives - fleeting- like it was a dream

Answer 5

Earth time is very insignificant compared to eternity.

Your vivid alliteration is something else!
