The sands of time are passing by.

Nothing has shown me this more than watching my son grow.

Perceiving time pass from your own viewpoint is tough. You feel more or less the same every day. The people you know and love are aging at the same rate.

But a child’s development is rapid. One month, they’re pronouncing ‘milk’ as ‘meel,’ which is adorable. Then, before you know it, they’ve added the ‘k,’ and ‘meel’ is gone forever.

When you see it in your child it is both sad and beautiful. Each new milestone they hit you know there is no coming back from. It’s amazing to watch your child grow. But it’s sad that you cannot freeze time and savor those moments even more.

I’ve noticed this for myself in more subtle ways. Things I loved in my 20’s, travel, for example, don’t excite me in the same way. And that’s ok. That’s life. We change. New parts of us emerge, grow, and flourish – while other parts are pruned away.

What this emphasizes for me is to run down dreams I have now with vigor. Not because I only pass this way once, but also because I will be a different person with different dreams in the future.

There is no time to waste.
