Time passes: what will you choose to make constant? (ev)extended version

We live in an era of stars. It's the Stelliferous [ste-lif-er-uhs] era. This too will change.
There is a direction to the passing of time. Things tend to go from order to disorder (ex. past to future; decay). When we bring order to the situation (building a sand castle from sand potential) it is not natural to stay in this state of order. The sand will scatter in time. What fundamental values are the grains of sand with which you order your life? In time the order will shift, change, reshape, but a grain of sand is always a grain of sand. What is it you are using for the foundation of your life? When the wind comes will you be able to say, "Be what it may, there was love, integrity, honesty, authenticity?" What elements are most important to you?
How can we live in alignment with and support those most important elements?
