Pat - I just pulled up my scratch pad of notes for the sand image and I just can't believe it!
You gave me a sentence that rhymed with what I already had. How did you do that? Rhymed perfectly! I'm amazed.

I have no idea where I was going with my notes but taking 1 sentence that you provided and tweaking one word (to enhance the sand theme) plus going in the direction that you gave I think I got the sand image done. Thank you for generously giving your encouragement, thoughts and advice. I thought you might like to see the result . . .

See the earth in a tiny grain of sand
see the path of the wind in the land
see nature's plan that perhaps we don't always understand.
The winds of time shape new paths
as journeys transition to future from past

Let gentle winds of time
guide you to new pathways
filled with breezy and sparkling days.

I'm thinking general encouragement category.
