The Hour Glass The hourglass - an emblem of human life. It symbolizes the eternal passage of time, the sand slipping away until there is no more, and therefore a continual reminder that life is finite, and therefore we should make the most of it while we can. While searching for a topic on something that fascinates me, my mind went wondering for a good hour or so and out all the things in life …

…I suddenly saw a realization in the hourglass that I had never seen before. Of how precious everything in my life was. Or how much value it all holds for me. That I would not let my life pass by without appreciating each day. A lesson that one learns when more than half of ones life is over. So does life not remind you of the hourglass? The sands are moving way, way too fast.
