Using a sand timer for more than measuring time teaches beginning anew.
Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.
I was mindlessly turning a sand timer over and over watching the grains fill one half of the glass and then the other.
What’s a sand timer? Basically, an ancient device used to measure the passage of time.
We’re taught to see the sands of time running out. But what if we turn that teaching on its head? The seasons are changing here in the Western Hemisphere; so we’re getting less day light and more night dark. It’s not a loss of one so much as a gain of the other.
Likewise, what if instead of seeing the sand running out we see it forming a new pile so we turn it over and begin anew?
