A gentle breeze swept by as we sipped espresso while taking in the morning vista from our tiny balcony overlooking the bay. The morning sun in Sorrento illuminated the hillside as we viewed the village below. The journey into the blue grotto the day before and the ascent to Ana Capri had been highlights of the previous day. Basking in the glow of gratitude for the safe journey from Rome, we prepared for the visit to Pompeii before our drive to Florence. The distance of two millennia suddenly compacted into one short visit filled us with joy at the opportunity to sample just a grain of the sand that had passed through the hourglass of history. As long as there is life therein lays yet another opportunity to experience more grains that are the sand of time. For every grain that remains to sample, we give thanks to the Master who holds the glass.
