Grains of Sand

As the hour glass of your life passes, each grain of sand falls gently into the lower level of the hour glass. Imagine that each grain is an experience in your life and as it passes through the present or middle of the hourglass you experience it. When you start the top part is filled with experiences that are going to pass through your present. Then fall into your past. One by one these grains pass through the slim part of the hour glass dropping your experiences into the past. Until the last gain passes through the middle and gently falls on the pile of all your other memories. Some view this as the end, the finish, death. Perhaps, it is just time to turn the hour glass over and experience all those feelings and moments again or experience new feelings with new moments. Are you one who is open to embrace the turning of the hour glass, when the time arrives, or are you one who fears it?
