'The Powers That Be' is the title here...

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/powers_that_be

After Romans 13:1 in the Tyndale Bible 1526: 

“Let every soul submit himself unto the authority of the higher powers. There is no power but of God. 

The powers that be, are ordained of God.” 

So what 'powers' are at work here? Is the cloud actually driving that shell over the sand? And is the sand eroding, eventually to collapse the shell's perch? Tides are getting into the act here too, rearranging the sand in whatever way it will. Let's not forget wind, either.

The only constant is... change. Always. Count on it.

'We are stardust, we are golden, and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden'

Continuing on with the theme of sand...

"When you look back at the most difficult times in your life 

and see only one set of footprints in the sand, 

it’s because I was carrying you.

When also in the sand there’s a pretty great sand castle, 

at least for someone who isn’t a professional sand-castle builder, 

that was me, too."

"Far from perfect" doesn't make it unenjoyable by any means.

The world, your life, the beach sand - all a blank canvas.

Treat all with care.
