Sand for the hourglass, the hourglass for everything


We need to embrace loss. No we do not welcome it, we respect it. Not act like its the arch enemy, the antagonist of our sunshiney life. Afterall, loss is what we have. We can't have everything forever, we will be selfish with no compassion and love for the things about us. Its the fundamental law of living. We're naturally complacent, with loss helping us to cherish things. To see everything as it is; expiring in its own natural beauty.

We need to learn to be determined about it. Determined to accept and deal with it, or determined to avoid it. No one can say they've never lost something or someone. We are all in this together, we just don't remember that. Loss makes you feel alone, yet loss brings us together. Its another constant in life, next to change.

I have learnt to deal with loss. It comes with age. With a bit of living, and a lot of listening. What I have yet to learn, is to react to it.

But the rule is simple. Loss is written all over the walls of life. That's why I don't get why Forever was ever in the dictionary.
