TEMPUS FUGIT

tempus-fugit

Mdina, Malta. In the medieval city of Mdina on the ancient Mediterranean island of Malta, I saw this carving on a old pillar – a hourglass with wings. What better symbolism could you have for the Roman caution in Latin: Tempus Fugit, Time Flies.

Time flies for everyone, with the irony that the older you get, the faster time flies.  We only live once on this Earth. Do what you dream of here and now, for you’ll never have another chance, just the one you have now.  (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #308 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
